Portrait of a lady, sketch is a 1894 oil by Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, rendered in oil paint. The subject is depicted in profile, facing left, with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. Her hair is dark and styled in a short, neat fashion. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy tone, which serves to emphasize the subject's features. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique further.
Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz (1852 – 9 January 1916) was a Polish realist painter best known for his battle-scenes, portraits, landscapes and paintings of horses.
