Sketch for the Head of Leda, an intimate study by Josef Wawra
The Sketch for the Head of Leda reveals itself as a delicate study where line and light dialogue to evoke a mythological figure. Josef Wawra favors precise drawing, subtle nuances, and modeling that captures the softness of the skin and the tension of the gaze, giving the composition a simultaneously contemplative and sensual atmosphere. The exaltation of chiaroscuro and mastery of line create an inner movement that captures attention without dramatizing, inviting a close-up reading of anatomical and expressive details. This art print faithfully reproduces the grain and finesse of the original, preserving its visual and emotional presence.

Josef Wawra, master of academic studies
Josef Wawra is part of the tradition of academic draftsmen who prioritize the study of the body and figurative psychology; his work reflects rigorous training and a sensitivity to the classical language of portraiture. Influenced by atelier drawing teachings and masters of naturalism, Wawra developed an attentive practice to modeling, composition, and subtle facial expression. His sketches, often preparatory for larger projects, are appreciated for their economy of means and their ability to suggest a story behind the line. The studio art print offered allows rediscovering this technical and contemplative approach, placed within its artistic context.
