Saskia

Govaert Flinck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman's upper body, including her head, shoulders, and part of her arms. She is facing slightly to the right, with her head turned slightly to the left. Her facial features are delicately sketched, with her eyes gazing to the side, a slightly pronounced nose, and moderately full lips with a subtle expression. Her hair is curly and flows around her shoulders, with a hint of an adornment woven into it. She is wearing a garment with visible buttons on the bodice, and there is a necklace around her neck. The surrounding area blends into a neutral background with no distinct landscape or objects, keeping the focus on her. The drawing is warm-toned, likely achieved with reddish or sepia chalk.
