Portrait Study by Sheila Oliner
This is a pencil portrait study by Sheila Oliner (1930-2020), a Saint Ives artist. The drawing depicts a male figure, rendered with delicate lines and subtle shading, characteristic of Oliner’s figurative style. The work showcases her skill in capturing likeness and form through a minimalist approach, focusing on essential lines and tonal variations to create a compelling study.
