The Queen is a 1848 graphite by Constantin Guys, a Romanticism work, depicting Tent, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman, possibly a queen, in a simple dress. She's sitting with a quiet expression. The woman's face is the main focus of the painting. The artist used watercolor and graphite to create this work. This combination of mediums gives the painting a soft, delicate look. The use of graphite adds details to the woman's face and dress. This painting is similar to works by other artists of the same time period. Look up the technique: watercolor, glazing to learn more about how it was made.
