This drawing shows a woman with a gentle face. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used a special technique to create this work, which is interesting because it's not often seen in drawings from this time. The drawing is made with pastels on parchment, which gives it a soft look. This technique, called pastelli pergamentille, is not common in many artworks. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Lundberg, Gustaf.
