Portrait 202A

Portrait 202A – Blue Ballpoint Portrait Drawing

Portrait 202A is an original blue ballpoint portrait drawing by Italian contemporary artist Dario Moschetta.
Executed with fine cross-hatching and subtle tonal variation, this portrait captures the quiet intensity of a young woman gazing directly at the viewer.
Drawn on 150gsm fine art paper (A4), it reveals both technical precision and emotional depth.
The smooth blue ink lines define the contours of the face and shoulders with remarkable control, creating a delicate balance between realism and simplicity.

Technique and Emotion

This artwork is made entirely with a blue ballpoint pen, using thousands of fine strokes layered to achieve soft shadows and lifelike transitions.
The absence of background invites the viewer to focus entirely on expression and posture.
Each mark adds texture and rhythm, giving the portrait an almost photographic sensitivity while preserving the warmth of hand-drawn art.
The minimalist composition makes it ideal for collectors who appreciate subtle emotion and masterful line work.

Original Hand-Drawn Artwork

This original drawing is signed on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
It is shipped flat and securely packaged to preserve the paper’s surface.
Whether displayed alone or as part of a portrait collection, Portrait 202A brings refinement and a quiet sense of introspection to any space.
