Description: Before us we see a graphic depicting a standing female figure in flowing robes. The monochrome style demonstrates technical precision in the use of shading and line, giving the work a distinct three-dimensionality and fine texture. The pose and direct gaze of the model suggest a familiar presence and convey a timelessness that seems to capture both ancient and modern aesthetic ideals.
