Portrait of a Child

Eugène Delacroix

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a person's upper body, mainly focusing on their head and shoulders. The person is slightly turned to the left but looking straight ahead. Their facial features are delicately rendered with soft, rounded cheeks, a small nose, and full lips. The person has long, straight hair that reaches past the shoulders. They are depicted wearing a simple garment with a loose fit around the shoulders. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, allowing the focus to remain on the person. The drawing appears to be done in graphite or charcoal with a monochromatic tone.
