Dox Thrash's Woman in Profile is masterful work in charcoal and shows Thrash riffing on traditional
skills learned at the Art Institute of Chicago. He gives his elegant sitter a pronounced profile with strong light from above, making the most of a fine bone structure, full lips, and large eyes. The chin is
lifted, showing a long and graceful neck.
