Japanese Doll

This beautiful doll was given to me many years ago by a lovely lady in Japan.  She takes pride of place on the shelf above my computer desk now and measures 19cm from top to bottom.  From this black and white drawing, it's not possible to appreciate the beautiful colours in her kimono, but I can tell you: violet, orange, cream, silver and gold.  Perhaps one day I'll paint her in full colour.

Pencil and White Pastel on toned paper.
