Lovely work, David. A super portrait hiding her inner and physical scars.

A beautifully sensitive portrait - what's the medium?

Beautiful portrait David.

This is a stunning, emotive, portrait which I can’t take my eyes off David.

Thank you for the kind comments. The medium was pastel.

As far as I can recall Marietta was from Sierra Leone and was featured in an old newspaper cutting. As a baby her arm was severed at the elbow by a savage machete attack by two teenagers. In the picture I think she was 2 or three years old.
