Untitled is a 1880 by Forbes-Robertson, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a woman with her head bowed, wearing a head covering and a dress with a square neckline. Her right hand is raised to her shoulder, and her left hand rests in her lap. The background is a simple, muted color. The woman's facial expression is somber, and her posture conveys a sense of contemplation. The artist's use of bold lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the drawing. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the concept of cross-hatching.
The drawing depicts the head and shoulders of a Breton girl, rendered in pen and ink and pencil by Eric Forbes-Robertson in 1880, though the lower portion of the work is missing.

Forbes-Robertson fills sketchbooks with late-Victorian and early-Edwardian life, mostly in black ink on paper.
