Study of Terracotta Buddha Profile (Singapore)

Sean Rush’s conte pencil profile study of a terracotta Buddha (or bodhisattva) emphasizes spiritual serenity through refined line and tonal restraint. Rendered in warm monochrome, the simple silhouette and upward facial gesture suggest calm reflection and timeless presence.

The drawing honors classical Buddhist iconography: clean contours evoke the gentle dignity of the original clay form, inviting a contemplative encounter with the figure’s silent compassion.
