Description
Drawing of a lady, Spanish School, 19th century Graphite on paper. Dimensions: 24 x 17 cm; framed 27 x 20 cm. A half-length portrait of a woman in an oval format, with the figure facing forwards and her gaze directed at the viewer. The lady is dressed in 19th-century bourgeois attire, with a lace-trimmed collar and bow as prominent features, as well as an elaborate updo with side curls. The composition is executed with delicate and confident lines, where tonal gradations gently model the face and lend psychological depth to the sitter’s serene and restrained expression. The artist employs a precise rendering of textile details and the shadows cast by the hair, demonstrating an academic technique associated with 19th-century intimate portraiture. The gilded oval frame reinforces the domestic and sentimental character of the work, typical of European drawings and private portraits. The piece stands out for its sensitivity in capturing physiognomy and for the understated elegance of its execution, whilst also preserving the documentary interest typical of nineteenth-century portraiture.
