Nadia 1921

"Nadia" is a 1921 etching by the British artist Gerald Leslie Brockhurst (1890-1978). The work is a close-up portrait of a young woman, capturing her features with detailed precision. The soft, tonal qualities of Brockhurst's etching technique create a sense of depth and realism, emphasizing the subject's delicate features. The composition is simple yet striking, focusing solely on the woman's face and upper torso, highlighting her pensive gaze. The artwork is a prime example of Brockhurst's signature style, known for its refined depictions of female beauty and evocative use of light and shadow.
