THE ARTWORK
In this engraving by Marc Dautry, a figure occupies the centre of an oval structure, accompanied by figurative elements and inscriptions along the perimeter. The body develops through twists and curved lines, while the border introduces a second rhythm around the central presence.
The work belongs to the Michelangelo Buonarroti portfolio, printed on Japanese paper. The copper-engraved line connects anatomical details, drapery and decoration. The eye can follow the figure or travel along the margin, encountering a composition in which visual narrative and graphic construction remain closely intertwined.
