Polyhymnia

Set against a uniform dark background, the figure emerges in sharp contrast, her delicate features enhanced by the light.

The artwork is a monochromatic portrait created using the cyanotype technique, depicting a fair-skinned woman with long, wavy hair softly cascading over her shoulders.

A light, draped fabric over her shoulders lends the image an ethereal, suspended quality.

Her gaze is gentle and serene, directed forward, while her hands, joined in front of her chest, suggest a gesture of contemplation or prayer.

The cyanotype, with its characteristic blue tones, enhances the meditative and poetic atmosphere of the work, emphasizing the elegance of the details and the overall harmony of the composition.
