A captivating and beautiful small painting in oil of a young woman. Painted loosely, likely as a sketch for a larger work, the woman is shown with her head turned in profile. She is a beauty with dark hair and pale skin, patterned blue dress and draped bodice. In some places you can see an older abandoned sketch underneath with architectural elements.
