This drawing shows a young girl with a powdered pageboy hairstyle. She's wearing a kerchief with fine embroidery and a flower. The details in her outfit reflect the fashion of the late 18th century, with pastel tones used for her accessories, like the choker and bow. The artist used simple lines to draw her face and clothes. The girl's expression is calm and straightforward, like a portrait. Check out the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how drawings like this are made.
