This original male portrait drawing of Marccello Mastroianni by Italian artist Dario Moschetta is created entirely in black ink on fine 150 gsm paper.
The artwork captures a male figure in profile, rendered with expressive cross-hatching lines that give depth and personality to the subject. The technique combines meticulous precision with a spontaneous energy, allowing each stroke to convey emotion and movement.
Through the dense layering of ink, Moschetta explores timeless themes of identity and introspection. The clean background emphasizes the structure of the face and the contrast of light and shadow, resulting in a powerful yet minimal composition.
This work is part of the artist’s ongoing series of contemporary ink drawings — studies of human presence distilled into pure line and rhythm.
