DescriptionThe artwork is a portrait by an unknown artist, executed using red chalk. The artist skillfully captures the profile portrait of a young woman, and there is a possibility that the artist drew inspiration from a sculpted plaster head rather than a live model. This approach adds an intriguing element to the artwork, as it combines elements of realism and artistic interpretation. One notable aspect of the drawing is the artist's exceptional use of tonal shading to accentuate the muscles on the subject's face and neck. This attention to detail highlights the artist's technical proficiency and ability to create depth and dimension on the paper. The overall execution of the drawing is highly professional, demonstrating the artist's mastery of their craft. Through the careful use of red chalk the artist achieves a harmonious balance between softness and precision. The red chalk lends a warm and delicate touch, fine detailing and textural rendering. The result is a portrait that exudes a sense of grace and youthfulness while showcasing the artist's understanding of form and anatomy. Artist or MakerUnknown MediumSanguine Drawing Date19th Century
