Female image. Illustration to Dante "Vita Nova" 1965

"Female Image" is a 1965 illustration by Hryhorii Havrylenko, a Ukrainian artist known for his distinctive style. The black and white drawing depicts a woman standing in the center of the composition. Her body is constructed through the use of cross-hatching, a technique that adds depth and texture to the figure. The background is a complex pattern of diagonal lines, resembling a grid, which further emphasizes the linear structure of the piece. The simplicity of the form and the emphasis on line contribute to the artwork's minimalist aesthetic, which is characteristic of Havrylenko's work.
