Artist

The drawing depicts the upper half of a woman's body. She is slightly turned to her right, with her face towards the viewer. Her facial features are softly portrayed, with a gentle expression and eyes looking forward. She has styled hair under a large decorated hat with flowers. The woman is wearing a detailed outfit with ruffled accents around the neckline and sleeves. Her hands are lifted towards her chest, lightly touching. The image has a textured background with cross-hatched shading to enhance the figure.
