Portrait 247B is a David Lynch portrait for sale, an original drawing on paper by Italian artist Dario Moschetta, presented within the Intimate Portraits — Original Ink Drawings auction. This work is currently available through auction on the artist’s website.
The work captures the unmistakable presence of David Lynch through a frontal composition that emphasizes symmetry, tension, and psychological intensity. The gaze is direct, almost confrontational, holding the viewer in a suspended and ambiguous moment.
The portrait is constructed entirely through layered linework. Dense cross-hatching builds volume across the face, while lighter, fragmented marks define transitions and surface irregularities. This accumulation of strokes creates a vibrating texture, where the image seems to emerge rather than simply appear.
The treatment of the suit and tie contrasts with the face: heavier and more chaotic marks define the garment, while the facial structure remains more controlled and precise. This contrast reinforces the centrality of the gaze and the identity of the subject.
Within the Intimate Portraits auction, this work introduces a recognizable figure into a series primarily focused on anonymous subjects. It creates a shift from introspection to presence, where the portrait becomes both representation and interpretation.
This drawing is part of Moschetta’s ongoing investigation into portraiture through ink, where identity is not described but constructed through density, repetition, and tension in the line.
