A sketch by Irena Klonek capturing the bust of a man in a three-quarter view. The man's arms are crossed, suggesting a sense of composure or introspection. His freatures are slightly annoyed yet perfectly captured by the artist. The sketch is executed in crayon, adding a soft and expressive quality to the artwork. The paper is ripped off from an old book, letters can be seen, however the canvas is painted solid white offering a crisp neutral base for the sketch.

The man is portrayed wearing a t-shirt, with the crayon strokes creating the folds and contours of the fabric. In the upper left side of the sketch, there's a date (30-4.92), indicating a temporal context for the artwork. This element adds a layer of documentation and historical reference to the piece. On the right side of the sketch, there's a supposition of another head, suggesting an unfinished aspect intentionally left by the artist. This could evoke a sense of mystery or invite the viewer to participate in completing the visual narrative. The sketch features various hachures, demonstrating Irena Klonek's skillful use of lines to add texture and depth to the drawing. Some lines may be thicker and darker, adding to the definition of certain features or emphasizing specific areas of the composition.

Overall, Irena Klonek's crayon sketch of the man is a compelling exploration of form, expression, and the interplay of lines. The intentional elements of the unfinished head and the date provide additional layers of interest, encouraging viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.

The sketch is stuck onto a thicker piece of paper for stability, we can see the left side has been ripped from a notebook.
