National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person standing. They appear to be looking downward. The person has dark hair, which partially covers their face. They are wearing a long dress and dark shoes. In the background, there are few details, including figures kneeling, sitting, and standing far away. Some textures imply natural elements like hills or rocks. The scene appears calm and quiet.
