Studies in Tenderness

A quiet graphite triptych arranged across a largely untouched sheet, presenting an infant’s attentive face alongside close studies of clasped hands, folded fabric, and an embracing adult gesture. Careful contour drawing defines the baby’s features and fingers, while soft shading gives volume to cheeks, clothing, and surrounding folds. The open white space between panels creates a reflective, intimate rhythm, like pages from a life-drawing or family study.
