Bashful Girl 1967

"Bashful Girl" is a 1967 etching by Czech artist Jirí Balcar (1929-1968). The artwork depicts a woman standing with her back to the viewer, her head bent down in a gesture of modesty. The artist's use of stippling creates a textured effect, particularly in the woman's clothing, contributing to the overall sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The piece, likely created during the artist's short but prolific career, captures the essence of the human condition through its suggestive and minimalist composition.
