Red Quietness

Red Pastel Portrait Drawing – “Red Quietness”

“Red Quietness” is an original red pastel portrait drawing for sale by contemporary Italian artist Dario Moschetta. Created with sanguine pastel on 90gsm paper, this A4 artwork captures a serene female figure with her hand gently resting on her face — a composition that blends classical technique with modern minimalism.

The soft tonal range of the red pastel enhances the warmth and introspection of the subject. Fine cross-hatching and light modeling create depth and emotion without excess detail, emphasizing silence and presence. The artwork demonstrates Moschetta’s refined control over line, texture, and atmosphere.

This unique piece is signed on the back and ships flat, carefully protected in rigid packaging. Perfect for collectors of contemporary figurative drawings and lovers of traditional techniques reinterpreted with a modern touch.
