The Pearl Necklace is a 1916 ink by Timothy Cole, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white image shows a woman sitting at a table, adjusting a pearl necklace. She’s dressed in a high-necked dress with ruffled sleeves, and her hair is pulled back. The background is plain, with just a hint of a dark wall and a chair. The engraving style uses fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving it a detailed but soft look. This piece is actually a close-up from a larger work. Next, check out engraving to see how artists use sharp tools to carve images into wood.
