Francis Newton Souza (1924–2002), Head Study, Ink on Paper.
A striking linear portrait rendered in bold black ink, depicting an elongated male head with exaggerated facial features. The composition is defined by sharp angular lines, heavy cross-hatching, and expressive contouring that emphasises the nose, eyes, and jawline. The face is asymmetrical and stylised, with hollowed forms and strong graphic presence characteristic of the artist’s distinctive visual language. Signed “Souza” and dated 1952 to the lower right. Presented within a mount and wooden frame.
Approximately 44 x 33.6cm
