Portrait 256A is a female profile ink portrait for sale, an original drawing on paper by Italian artist Dario Moschetta, presented within the Intimate Portraits — Original Ink Drawings auction.

The work depicts a female profile defined through a balance of precision and fluidity. The figure emerges from a light background, allowing the structure of the face and neck to be fully articulated through line alone.

Ink is used with variation in pressure and density. Fine cross-hatching constructs the tonal transitions across the skin, while sharper, more directional strokes define the hair, creating contrast and rhythm within the composition.

The portrait maintains a clear and controlled presence. The gaze is directed forward, detached from the viewer, reinforcing a sense of distance and introspection. The composition focuses on structure and proportion rather than narrative.

Within the Intimate Portraits auction, Portrait 256A introduces a more open and luminous approach compared to darker or more saturated works. The absence of a heavy background emphasizes clarity, line quality, and the construction of form.

This drawing is part of Moschetta’s ongoing exploration of portraiture through ink, where the image is built through accumulation of marks, controlled pressure, and a precise understanding of anatomical structure. This work is currently available through auction on the artist’s website.
