Young Woman with a Pearl Necklace is a 1664 ink by Isaac Fuller, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a young woman with curly hair and a pearl necklace. Her hair is drawn in loose, flowing curls, and her necklace is made up of large, rounded pearls. The background of the drawing is simple, with a few lines suggesting a wall or other surface behind the woman. The drawing is done in pen and brown ink on laid paper, which gives it a warm, earthy tone. The artist has used cross-hatching to create depth and texture in the drawing, particularly in the woman's hair and clothing. If you like this portrait, you might also enjoy looking at other works by the artist, Isaac Fuller.
