About this work

The image depicts a young woman in profile, facing right. She is dressed in a long, flowing garment with a high neckline and a hat that covers her hair. Her hands are clasped together in front of her. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of modesty and simplicity. The overall effect of the image is one of quiet contemplation. This image is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialized in etchings, such as Henriet, Israel.
