Artist, British, 1890 - 1978

The image shows a close-up portrait drawing of a woman. The woman is facing slightly to the right, with her eyes looking in the same direction. Her facial features include well-defined cheekbones, full lips, a straight nose, and slightly arched eyebrows. Her hair is gently parted, with soft waves framing her face and extending beyond the frame. The neckline of her clothing suggests an off-shoulder garment. There is no visible jewelry or objects in the drawing. The background is plain and shaded, contrasting with the figure. A signature with the year "1954" and the name "Celacia" is visible at the bottom of the sketch.
