turning back (2026) Original Charcoal Drawing by Denny Stoekenbroek
32.5 x 50 x 1cm (unframed) / 28 x 48cm (actual image size)
£303.92
Original artwork description
A contemplative charcoal portrait capturing a fleeting moment of introspection. The subject turns just enough to meet the viewer, her gaze steady yet restrained, as if holding something just beneath the surface. Soft tonal transitions define the face, while looser, unfinished marks in the garment suggest impermanence and movement.
Executed in charcoal, the work balances precision with suggestion—edges dissolve, details emerge and recede, allowing the drawing to breathe. The composition emphasizes stillness, yet nothing feels static; it is a moment suspended in time, charged with quiet tension.
This piece explores the space between presence and thought—where expression is not declared, but felt.
