"Beatrice. Illustration to Dante Alighieri's Book 'Vita Nova'" is a 1964 pen and ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko. The artwork depicts a woman, likely Beatrice, the subject of Dante's love poems and the guiding light of the *Divine Comedy*. Havrylenko's style is characterized by the use of hatching and crosshatching to create form and depth, giving the image a sense of realism and emotion. The drawing is a testament to the enduring influence of Dante's work on artists, and the power of love and loss to inspire creativity.
