A young woman is fixing her hair in this drawing. She's looking into a mirror, adjusting her locks with care. The artist used simple lines and gentle shading to create a quiet moment. The drawing is interesting because it shows everyday life. The woman is not a queen or a goddess, just a regular person. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
