Woman with her hands outstretched is a 1786 by Johann David Schubert, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a woman with her hands outstretched. She is wearing a long dress and has a headscarf on. The woman's face is blurred, and her eyes are cast downward. The drawing is done in a sketchy style, with lots of lines and shading. The woman's dress is flowing, and her arms are outstretched as if she's reaching for something. The background is plain, with no other objects or people visible. The Romanticism movement is known for its emphasis on emotion and imagination, and this drawing seems to capture a sense of longing or yearning.
