Another ink painting from the theory of Neo-Elegance. This piece was inspired by the description for the sculpture in 'The Stoddard Temple of The Human Spirit' from Ayn Rand's novel, "The Fountainhead". The dimensions of the canvas follow the golden ratio (1:1.618) and the curls of her hair are made using golden spirals. Many of her proportions also match the golden ratio.
