Sketch Portrait of a Woman is a 1915 unspecified by Olga Boznańska, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a woman with her hand raised to her face, gazing directly at the viewer. Her dark dress is complemented by a white shawl draped over her shoulders, and a long necklace adorns her neck. The background is a warm, earthy tone, with visible brushstrokes and texture adding depth to the piece. A quiet detail in the painting is the way the woman's hand is positioned, with her fingers curled gently around her cheek. This subtle gesture adds a sense of intimacy and vulnerability to the portrait. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Olga Boznańska.
