About the Item

La Bella Attrice, 2018 Graphite and White Chalk on Toned Paper, 7.75 x 5.5 inches Exemplifying the essence of Renaissance poise, La Bella Attrice showcases Justas Varpucanskis’s economical use of line and expressive contours to imbue the portrait with psychological depth and nuance. This detailed drawing on toned paper showcases the artist’s facility and mastery, inviting the viewer into an intimate world. The subject’s enigmatic gaze conveys a reflective inner life, as if lost in contemplation. The subtle application of sfumato creates a soft, ethereal glow, while the use of traditional materials and craftsmanship evoke a sense of heritage, nostalgia, and tradition.
