Composition (Natasha) 1963

"Composition (Natasha)" is a 1963 pen and ink drawing by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko (1927-1984). The work features a delicate line drawing of a woman, likely named Natasha, depicted in a contemplative pose. The artist’s careful use of hatching and cross-hatching techniques create a sense of depth and texture, while the grid pattern of the background adds a unique visual element. The work is a fine example of Havrylenko's skillful draftsmanship and his ability to capture a sense of intimacy and introspective mood.
