About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman. She wears a big hat with a fancy headpiece and a necklace with a pendant. Her hair is pulled back, and she looks straight ahead with a calm face. The name "Iana Graya" is written at the bottom, but it’s not her real name. The artist used lines and shading to create depth. Want to see more?
