Medium: Pastel 75 x 55 cm
| Guide Comment: LATRACHE Abderrahmane is a Moroccan artist who shows considerable mastery of pastel drawing technique. The pastel is kept fresh and clean, with minimal blending, especially of the white. This is important, as when white is blended with dark pastels the result can look gray and lifeless. Dramatic contrast and a full range of tonal values with crisp highlights give the image impact. Note the use of small touches of white and blue, like a musical accent, repeated in the necklace and ear-rings as well as the turban - this helps to give a sense of unity to the composition.
