Associated Names
Albert Belleroche

Artist, British, 1864 - 1944

The image shows a charcoal sketch of a woman depicted from the torso up. She is seated in a side-facing upholstered chair with a high back, slightly turned towards the viewer, and her head is tilted at a slight angle. Her facial features are delicately rendered, showing a gentle expression with softly shaped, narrow eyes, and a subtle, closed-mouth smile. Her hair is styled in a loose, wavy, and slightly voluminous manner, framing her face gently. She is dressed in a dark garment with broad shoulder lines. There is no visible jewelry or objects in her hands. The background of the sketch is simple, with sketchy shading and line work that adds depth and contrast without specifying any particular setting.
