Artist

This is a drawing of a sculpted bust of a person with flowing hair. The drawing is centered on the page, with intricate detailing in the hair, which appears to be styled with curls and adorned with a floral or leaf-like headdress. The expression on the bust is serene, and the gaze is directed slightly off to one side. The paper on which the drawing is made shows signs of age, with visible yellowish spots scattered across the surface.
