Jane Goodall

January 2024

This is a portrait of Jane Goodall (wikipedia), a British antrapologist and primatologist, by me mainly known for her work with chimpansees.

I think this is still my favorite portraits, because this piece has taught me so much. It mainly taught me to look very carefully, because this portrait contains so many details in face, hand and clothing. If you start to look carefully at a portrait, you will discover tiny details like the very tiny thread of her hearing aid. I really enjoyed that.

For this drawing I used various graphite and charcoal materials to investigate what material would provide the best result and was nice to handle.

A4 paper size.
