THE ARTWORK
Alberto Sughi’s model turns her face aside while her torso remains directed towards the space before her. The drawing emphasises profile and hair, leaving the figure’s other parts more lightly worked.
The rectangle behind her introduces a second measure within the sheet. Alternating hatching and open surface focuses attention on the expression, suggesting a moment of pause rather than a solemn pose.
