Infanta (formally 'Portrait')

The image features a collage of five abstract and haunting portrait sketches, predominantly in grayscale but with subtle hints of color in places. Each portrait is distinct, yet they share a unified style, characterized by rough, expressive lines that suggest a sense of vulnerability and introspection. The central figure is larger and more detailed, with somber eyes gazing downward, conveying deep emotion. Surrounding sketches appear more unfinished, sketched minimally, adding to the haunting quality of the collective work.
