Lady Beneath the Wide Brim

Gulácsy Lajos: ceruza, papír 23 x 31 cm: Kalapos hölgy - Korabeli papír - 1900 - 1910. A delicate graphite study presents a woman in profile beneath an expansive, softly modeled hat. Her lowered gaze and elongated neck give the figure a quiet, reflective presence, while a slender flowering branch rises beside her face and overlaps the loose folds of her garment. Light, searching contours remain visible across the paper, lending the work the intimacy of an unfinished fashion or figure study.
