"Pensiveness" (2005) is a mixed media monotype by Makiko Berry in which a large pale red oval floats at the center of the sheet, its edges traced by loose black and brown dots. Within it, smudged lines resolve into the barest features of a face—small eyes, broad nose, full lips—so that a quiet, watchful expression seems to return the viewer's gaze. Printed on 15 × 22 inch paper.
