Is this piece done on a wall as well, Megha? Is this a male or female figure? (I ask because I know with cultural adornments that wrap the head, it can sometimes be hard to tell unless you live in the culture.) I love all the detail and would love to hear more of the history of this person!

Hey Priya, I am so glad that you liked my work. Stay in touch dear!

No dear Sherry! This piece is not done on wall but on sketch paper. Just I liked the subject so I sketched it. I will color it also.
The sketch is a male face. You said it right, it is really hard to tell man or woman.

Very beautiful! I am continually in awe of your artistic talent. I do hope you show it again once you have colored it!
