"Tondo," a 1962 work by James McGarrell, is a striking example of drawing in the form of a portrait. The piece is a close-up, rendered in fine lines, of a person's face looking upwards. The subject's expression, the detail of the individual hairs, and the subtle shading contribute to the piece's realism. McGarrell's mastery of line work is evident in the piece, showcasing his skill and dedication to the art form.
