About this work

The painting features a figure with its head tilted slightly to the right, gazing downward. The subject's body is rendered in shades of white and gray, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The background is predominantly black, with some white and gray accents. A notable aspect of the painting is its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. This is evident in the way the artist has used light to accentuate the contours of the figure's body. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the works of Georgiou, Kostis (1956).
