Young woman standing is a 1907 by Paul Scheurich, depicting Chignon, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The image shows a pencil drawing of a young woman standing with her back to the viewer. She has a chignon hairstyle and is wearing a dress with a ruffled skirt and a bow at the back of her neck. Her arms are bent at the elbows, and her hands are by her sides. The drawing is done in a detailed and realistic style, with shading and texture that gives the impression of depth and volume. The artist has paid close attention to the folds of the dress and the shape of the woman's body. The drawing is a beautiful example of early 20th-century art, and it would be interesting to learn more about the artist's technique and style. For more information on the artist's use of cross-hatching, you can look up the technique.

Paul Scheurich loved drawing delicate, porcelain-like figures that looked almost too fragile to touch.
