This drawing depicts a woman's upper body, facing left with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. Her dark hair is pulled back into a bun, and her gaze is directed downward. The artist has used a range of pencil marks to create texture and shading, with hatching visible on the woman's arm and torso. The background of the drawing is a solid grey-brown color, which helps to focus attention on the woman's figure. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. For more information on the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
