About this work

This drawing shows a woman, Vapaaherratar Ulrica Fredrika Cedercreutz. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used pastel on paper to create this portrait, which is a pretty unusual combination. The pastel gives the drawing a soft, gentle look. This was a common way to create portraits back then, but it's still nice to see. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the technique: stippling.
