Portrait Drawing Of A Woman For Sale
A contemporary artwork exploring line, structure and material presence
Ink Portrait Drawing of a Woman – 263B — original artwork by Dario Moschetta
About this artwork
This portrait drawing of a woman for sale is an original work on paper by Italian contemporary artist Dario Moschetta. The subject is shown in strict profile — face turned, neck bare, hair gathered in a dense chignon. The composition is spare and direct: no background colour, no decorative element, nothing that competes with the line.
The drawing belongs to the 200 Series, a body of work entirely dedicated to the female figure rendered in black ink on 240 gsm fine art paper. Each piece in the series is unique, signed and dated by hand on the back. Reference 263B was completed in April 2026.
Material and technique
The entire surface is built through cross-hatching and stippling using a pigment liner with archival, fade-resistant ink. There is no tonal wash and no digital intervention at any stage. Shadow on the jaw, volume on the shoulder, the dense mass of the bun — each of these is the result of repeated, layered strokes placed by hand. The technique is labour-intensive and unforgiving: every mark stays. That is precisely what gives this kind of portrait drawing its presence on the wall.
The paper is 240 gsm fine art stock, acid-free and stable over time. The work ships flat in rigid protective packaging, unframed and ready to frame in any standard A4 format.
