About this work

This image depicts a woman dressed in armor, with a sword at her side. She wears a flowing cape and has her hair tied up in a bun. The woman is shown in profile, facing left, with her right arm extended behind her. The armor is intricately detailed, with a breastplate and shoulder guards adorned with decorative elements. The sword is held at her side, with the hilt visible. The woman's expression is serene, with a subtle smile on her face. The image is rendered in pen, brown ink, and gray wash over graphite on wove paper, creating a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, capturing the essence of a romanticized female figure. Explore more works by the artist Cornelius, Peter von.
