Woman Pulling Her Hair

Marcantonio Raimondi possibly after Francesco Francia

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with their legs apart, their body slightly turned to the left, and both arms raised to hold their voluminous hair. Their hair falls in curls and waves around their shoulders and face. The person has strong facial features, including a distinct jawline and deep-set eyes. They are dressed in a flowing garment that clings to their form, displaying intricate detailing in its folds and fabric. The outfit appears to be a draped fabric, revealing glimpses of the body's form beneath it. The background is plain.
