Untitled

Despite her apparently calm gaze that looks a little away, there is an inner strength, a passion that is depicted in Laxma Goud’s female figure in this Untitled drawing. The huts in the foreground are a homage to the rural life that Goud often depicted in his practice. The portrait in graphite points to Goud’s genius in drawing. The hard and soft markings provide the depth and light that brings the character of the woman to life—you almost expect the figure to blink, so realistically has she been depicted by the artist.
