A striking black and white portrait composition divided by bold vertical stripes. The image shows a close-up view of facial features against a light background, with dramatic black bars creating a stark contrast. The eyes are particularly prominent, rendered in detailed grayscale, while the lips appear in a subtle shade. A high black turtleneck creates a solid dark base for the composition. The vertical stripes appear to be painted or overlaid on the portrait, creating an interplay between the subject and the geometric elements. The title "stripped No. 3" is reflected in both the literal stripes and the minimalist reduction of the portrait to essential elements.
