Girl with a Book 1905 - 1910

"Girl with a Book" is a charcoal drawing created by Slovak artist Jozef Hanula between 1905 and 1910. It depicts a young girl seated in a room, likely a library, as she absorbs herself in a book. The soft, muted tones of the drawing lend a sense of quiet concentration to the scene. Hanula’s work is often noted for its delicate handling of light and shadow. This particular piece, with its focus on a single figure and the intimate details of her surroundings, is a characteristic example of his talent.
