This drawing shows a woman, Kreivitär Ulrika Eleonora von Fersen. She is dressed in fancy clothes and has a serious look. The artist used pastel on paper to create this portrait, which gives it a soft feel. The pastel technique is interesting because it's not as common as other methods. It can be tricky to work with, but it creates a unique look. To learn more about this technique, look into the method of cross-hatching, stippling.
