About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman sitting sideways, holding a small bouquet. She’s dressed in fancy old-fashioned clothes—lots of lace on her sleeves, a high collar, and a flowery headpiece. The bouquet is simple, with a few stems and leaves, and she rests her chin on her hand. The artist focused on the details of her hair and jewelry, making them stand out. The lines are smooth, and the shading gives her face a soft look. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
