Head of a Buddha (Study)

Austere pencil lines shape a side-view Buddha head, where downcast calm and sculptural weight quietly surface within deliberate blankness.

Clear pencil contours with restrained shading depict a three‑quarter right‑side Buddha head: lowered lids, slightly pursed lips, and a small mark at the brow convey a steady, inward mood. The topknot and ornaments are woven from bundles of parallel strokes, while the cheeks and neck are built with broad light rubbing and turning lines, balancing sculptural mass with gentle light. Set toward the right of the sheet, the collar rings and square plinth anchor the weight, and the surrounding blank ground heightens the stillness.
