This original work features a finely executed bust-length portrait of a woman rendered in charcoal and graphite pencil. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter view, looking slightly upward and to the right with a serene and contemplative expression. Her hair is styled with a decorative headband or ribbon, and she wears prominent, detailed drop earrings, suggesting traditional Spanish attire. The drawing exhibits a masterful use of soft shading, delicate linework, and selective cross-hatching to define the contours of her face, dramatic eyes, and the texture of her hair and garments. The work is executed on a sheet of cream-toned paper with irregular, deckled, and torn edges, floating on a dark matte board that accentuates its vintage character. Signed by the artist in the lower left quadrant. Presented under glass in a classic black wooden frame with a gilded inner liner.
