A striking work on paper by Miriam Cahn, this pastel drawing exemplifies her raw, gestural approach to the human figure, rendered with urgent, expressive marks that convey both vulnerability and emotional intensity. Created in 2016, the work reflects Cahn's longstanding engagement with themes of the body, power, and suffering, using the soft, smudged qualities of pastel to evoke a sense of fragility and unease. The date-as-title grounds the piece in a specific moment, reinforcing the artist's practice of treating each work as a direct, diary-like response to lived experience.
