173 Albertino Bernhard – Antique Drawing - Elderly Woman in a Fur Collar – Graphite on Paper (20th Century)

This expressive graphite drawing captures an elderly woman with a strong, thoughtful expression, her gaze slightly averted as if lost in contemplation. The artist employs bold, gestural strokes to define her facial features, emphasizing the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth. The texture of her wavy, voluminous hair is skillfully rendered with a mix of fine lines and deeper shading.
The heavy, dark shading on the fur collar contrasts with the lighter areas of the face, creating a striking visual balance. The unfinished sketch-like quality of the surrounding areas suggests that this could be a study piece rather than a fully completed portrait. The loose, expressive style indicates a 20th-century origin, possibly from an academic setting or an artist’s personal collection of portrait studies.
