Woman [recto] 

This red chalk drawing by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović depicts a seated woman, her head bowed down, her body enveloped in soft, flowing lines. The artist's signature can be seen in the lower right corner of the drawing. The work is rendered in a simplified, expressive style that captures the essence of the human form, typical of Meštrović's artistic approach. Meštrović, a prominent sculptor of the 20th century, was known for his powerful and emotive works that explored themes of human emotion, spirituality, and the human condition. This drawing is an intimate glimpse into his creative process, showcasing his ability to convey depth and nuance through minimal means.
