Original artwork description:

This charcoal drawing explores the timeless subject of drapery — the play of light and shadow across folds of fabric. Each line follows the rhythm of the cloth, revealing both its weight and its delicacy. The contrast between deep shadows and bright highlights creates a sense of quiet drama, where the fabric itself becomes almost sculptural.

Drapery Study is not just a technical exercise but also a meditation on form and stillness. It invites the viewer to pause, to observe the subtle geometry of folds, and to find beauty in what is usually overlooked.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate classical drawing and the purity of monochrome expression, this piece carries the essence of study, observation, and timeless artistic tradition.
