Anna Held

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an artistic drawing of a person's upper body in profile view from the shoulders up. The person is looking upwards and slightly to the side. The facial features are delicately sketched, with closed or gently narrowed eyes, slightly parted lips, and long, wavy hair blending with the background. The clothing is not distinctly outlined and blends into the shaded areas. The person's hand is near their mouth or chin in a thoughtful gesture. No visible jewelry is present. The background is abstract, with radiating lines above, suggestive of light or motion, and additional indistinct shapes and shading throughout the space.
