This teacup is part of a series hand drawn by Buenos Aires artist Irana Douer. Please 'Take a closer look' to see other styles.

Much of Irana's work revolves around the subject of the thoughts and feelings of women, particularly the broken hearted, whose circumstances cause them to hide from the world by shielding their faces with their hair or by simply shutting their eyes.

Though their grief is strong, Irana likes to think of her subjects as having the spirit and will to keep going and never lose hope.

This teacup, signed by the artist, makes a thoughtful and expressive gift to the strong woman in your life.
