Female image 1975

"Female Image" is a 1975 black and white ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). The work depicts a woman with long hair in profile, her face and body outlined in a simple, yet expressive style. Havrylenko's signature use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a textured effect throughout the composition, adding depth and dimension to the female form. While the subject is presented in a minimalist manner, the artist's expressive line work and delicate shading convey a sense of both vulnerability and strength.
