Portrait of a Woman is a 1790 graphite by John Flaxman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a woman's face, with her head turned slightly to the side. Her hair is covered by a cloth or hat, and her eyes look straight ahead. The drawing is done in graphite, with soft, gentle lines that give the subject a quiet, introspective look. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance.
