Bust of a Woman, Seen from Behind

Adolph von Menzel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a charcoal drawing of a woman seen from behind, turned to the right. The woman is wearing a hat with a wide brim and a decorative top. Her hair is pulled back and appears to be short. She is wearing a dark-colored, ruffled or textured blouse or dress with a high neckline. A portion of her left ear and earring are visible. The background is a light-colored wall or surface, and there is a signature on the left side of the image. The overall style of the drawing is realistic.
