Untitled 275A is a female profile ink drawing for sale, an original work on paper by Italian artist Dario Moschetta, presented within the Intimate Portraits — Original Ink Drawings auction.

The drawing depicts a female profile emerging sharply from a deep black background. The contrast between light and darkness defines the structure of the face, allowing the figure to appear with clarity and precision.

Linework is controlled yet expressive. Dense cross-hatching builds tonal depth across the neck and facial planes, while lighter marks articulate the skin with subtle variations. The hair is rendered through layered, energetic strokes that create volume and rhythm against the flat black field.

The composition is direct and concentrated. The subject does not engage the viewer but remains suspended in her own space, reinforcing a sense of distance and introspection. The profile becomes a structural form rather than a narrative portrait.

Within the Intimate Portraits auction, this work introduces a stronger visual tension through contrast and density. It stands in dialogue with more open and minimal drawings, adding depth and intensity to the overall selection.

This drawing is part of Moschetta’s ongoing investigation into the human figure through ink, where line replaces color and the image is constructed through accumulation, pressure, and precision. This work is currently available through auction on the artist’s website.
