Whispered Silhouette by Anthony Cooper

Whispered Silhouette is a minimalist yet deeply evocative charcoal drawing by Anthony Cooper, focusing solely on the lower half of a woman’s face and her exposed neck. The upward tilt of her head suggests openness and vulnerability, while the softly blurred shading conveys intimacy and subtle drama. By omitting the eyes, Cooper invites the viewer to interpret emotion through the curve of the lips, the lift of the chin, and the quiet grace of the composition.
