The renowned Picasso's piece comes on mind. Love the palette and general solution of the portrait, Dave!

I get the impression that someone has not been sleeping well for some time. Believe it or not, I wasn't aware of the nickname for absinthe but that glass clued me in somehow. Historically, some very famous writers drank the stuff---which has an extremely high alcohol content. A little bit goes a long way. :)

Artist Reply: No sleep for this young girl, kicking her heels up in the Netherlands ... Yes many artists and writers partook in this wormwood and herb distilled spirit . And agreed , a little bit is enough : )

The lines on the forehead and neck are a wonderful touch. Have a great weekend Dave.
