Woman with Musical Instrument

About this work

This drawing shows a woman standing in a circular frame. She has curly hair and wears a long, flowing robe. One arm is raised, holding a scroll, while the other rests on a large musical instrument—like a harp or lyre—leaning against her side. Behind her, a canopy frames her head, and two small masks hang on either side. The way the lines are sharp and detailed suggests this is a print, not a painting. The artist used cross-hatching to create shadows and texture, especially in her clothes and the instrument. Look up etching to see how this technique works.
