Portrait of a Woman

German Art around 1900, 1898

The drawing depicts a person's head and upper shoulders. The individual is positioned slightly to the right, showing a partial side profile while facing the left. The person has distinct facial features with large, rounded eyes, a slender nose, and a softly closed mouth. Their hair is parted in the middle and slicked back over the top, forming a smooth cap-like style around their head. They are wearing a dark-colored garment with a high, round neckline. The background is uniformly shaded. There is no visible jewelry or objects.
