About this work

This drawing shows a woman with dark, curly hair and a calm face. She’s wearing a simple dress with a light shawl over her shoulders and a bow at the neck. Behind her, a tree branch with small leaves frames her head. The sketch feels soft and gentle, with light shading around her face. The artist used pencil or charcoal to create smooth tones.
