This sketch shows a woman standing straight, wearing a long robe with a high collar. Her hair is loose, framing her face, and she holds something small in her hands. The drawing is simple, with soft lines and no background details. The artist signed it in the corner, writing *"Queen Eleanor - Waltham Cross."* The paper looks worn, like an old sketch. Next, look up lithography to see how this kind of drawing was made.
