The painting is called A Woman in Profile and a Pollard Tree in Bloom. It was made by Melchior Lechter in 1885. The artist used Conte crayon with stumping on brown paper, which is an interesting fact about this work. This technique allows for subtle shading and texture. You can learn more about this style at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
