Description
A graphite study of the nude female figure, drawn from life at a time when Goyo was developing the intense observational discipline that would later define his woodblock prints. Unlike most shin-hanga artists who worked primarily in the print medium, Goyo was a meticulous draftsman who filled sketchbooks with life studies, using drawing as a tool for understanding the body before committing it to the more demanding print process. These graphite works reveal the patient, exacting vision that made his prints so extraordinary.
