About this work

This sketch shows a woman with dark curly hair and a neutral expression. She wears a high-necked white dress with lace trim and a simple brooch at her throat. The background is plain, keeping focus on her face and shoulders. The artist used soft watercolors, leaving some edges loose and sketchy. The light catches her cheekbones, but the rest stays muted.
