This painting shows a young woman's side profile with short, wavy hair. The woman's profile is delicate and detailed. Her hair is styled in a simple yet elegant way. The artist used fine lines to create a sense of texture and depth. The level of detail in this work is impressive, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique of engraving.
