1833
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Leonora is a 1833 by Ramsay Richard Reinagle, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a woman sitting sideways, holding a small dog in her lap. She’s dressed in a loose, flowing gown with a high neckline and puffy sleeves. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she looks relaxed, almost lost in thought. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft pencil lines that leave some areas blank. The artist didn’t focus on tiny details—just the big shapes and mood. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
A right-profile portrait drawing from 1833 depicts a seated woman on a step, holding a rose in her hands.
