About this work

This charcoal drawing on paper presents a woman with dark hair, wearing a light-colored top and a darker jacket or shawl. Her gaze is directed to the right, and her right hand rests on a table or ledge, with her left hand positioned near a cup on a saucer. The background is a light tan color, with a few faint lines and shapes visible. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a style from the early 20th century. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of softness and subtlety in the drawing. For more works by this artist, explore the art of Henri Matisse.
