Portrait of woman 1965

This striking portrait by Alberto Giacometti, created in 1965, is a prime example of his signature style. Giacometti is best known for his elongated figures, often depicted in stark, minimalist settings. The subject of this portrait is a woman, rendered in a way that captures both her physical presence and her emotional state. The skeletal lines of her body are barely visible, emphasizing her vulnerability, while her gaze is intensely focused and direct. The use of charcoal and watercolor creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, contributing to the overall feeling of isolation and introspection.
