The sheik of Araby – 15-10-17

A surreal graphite drawing where a reclining nude female figure forms the contours of a desert landscape, with actor Rudolph Valentino depicted as the sheik on the right and a camel caravan moving below her body.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Sheik of Araby – 15-10-17’ is in honor of moviestar Rudolph Valentino. Originally a jazz song, now an artwork.

A 5 min. sketch I made yesterday at a session at Rotterdam. Fun to do short positions again.
