This drawing is a pencil study by Richard Redgrave. It shows a woman standing behind another figure in profile, her hands resting on the other’s shoulder and arm. Redgrave layered black, red, and white chalk to bring out light and shadow. He often made these preparatory sketches before painting, but this one isn’t tied to a finished work. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
