Drawing Pastel on Archival Paper by Bob Meyer: Cesaria Evora, Framed

One color, one face, and both hands holding it up.

This framed drawing of Cesaria Evora is by Bob Meyer, in pastel on archival paper, from France. It is signed, titled and dated 2015 on the front. Evora, the Cape Verdean singer, became known around the world for her morna, a slow and melancholy song form. Here she appears in a single burnt orange, her head tilted into her hands, her dark eyes the sharpest thing on the sheet. The lower paper is left almost bare. Image 20 by 26 inches, framed 38.5 by 45.5 high.

It is drawn the way she sang, without hurry.
