Female image 1975

"Female Image" is a 1975 black and white ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). The piece depicts a woman's face and shoulders, rendered with meticulous cross-hatching, which creates a sense of depth and texture. The use of line and shading gives the artwork a minimalist and somewhat somber feel, perhaps alluding to the artist's own time. Havrylenko's work was often focused on portraiture and figurative studies, exploring the human form and emotion through his distinctive use of line.
