"Portrait" is a 1950 graphite drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko. Havrylenko (1927-1984) was known for his expressive portraits and mastery of drawing. The drawing features a young woman, rendered in subtle shades of grey, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders. Havrylenko's use of light and shadow, and his meticulous detail, give the figure a sense of realism and depth, highlighting the subtle beauty of the sitter. This piece exemplifies the artist's dedication to capturing the human form in a lifelike and intimate way.
