Description

A nude woman sits on the edge of a wooden bath, her body partially turned toward the viewer. The frank naturalism of the figure drawing, informed by Goyo''s Western art training, is tempered by the refined elegance of the woodblock medium. The warm flesh tones glow against the muted browns and grays of the bath setting, creating a composition of quiet intimacy.
