This graphite drawing captures the timeless beauty of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature. Inspired by classical sculpture, the artist meticulously renders the intricate details of the bust, from the delicate waves of her hair to the serene yet powerful expression on her face. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the depth of the form, bringing a lifelike presence to the piece.
On the right side of the composition, additional structural sketches offer insight into the artist’s study process, revealing an analytical approach to form, proportion, and light. This work serves as both a tribute to classical art and an exploration of the fundamentals of drawing, demonstrating the artist’s mastery of graphite as a medium.
