This etching depicts a woman in profile, facing left. Her long hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with feathers and a decorative piece. The woman wears a ruffled dress with a low neckline. The etching is rendered in a range of grays, with the woman's face and hair standing out against a darker background. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement. This artwork is part of the Romanticism movement, and can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
