Profile of a Girl Holding a Candle
The drawing depicts a girl in profile, facing left. She wears a head covering that is tied at the back. Her hair is tucked under the covering. She holds a candle in her right hand, though only the top of the candle is visible. The girl's attire consists of a garment with a collar and what appears to be a shawl or cloak over her right shoulder. The drawing is executed in a simple, monochromatic style, likely pencil or chalk on paper, with a light-colored background that has darker spots and stains. The overall impression is one of a straightforward, detailed representation. The work is by Albrecht Dürer, titled "Profile of a Girl Holding a Candle".
