About this work

This drawing shows two figures. The top figure is a woman with a headscarf, looking to the left. Her right arm is bent, and her hand is near her shoulder. The bottom figure is a man with a beard, looking down. The woman's face and the man's head are drawn in detail. The rest of their bodies are sketched out. You can find more Romantic-era art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
