Jeune femme au bandeau

Jeune femme au bandeau by Virginie Martin Blaise is a pencil-on-paper portrait that captures a quiet, contemplative moment through a restrained and sensitive drawing approach.

The composition focuses on the subject’s head and shoulders, emphasizing facial structure and expression. Soft shading and controlled graphite lines model the face with precision, while the headband introduces a simple geometric element that contrasts with the organic contours of the figure.

This work belongs to a figurative practice centered on observation and presence. The modest scale and intimate medium reinforce a sense of immediacy, inviting the viewer into a direct and personal encounter with the subject.
