Solitude: Miss Vesta Rollinstall

Edwin Austin Abbey

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil drawing of a woman's upper three-quarters body in profile. She is standing near a window with her hands clasped in front of her. The woman has softly sketched facial features, slightly tilted head, and a focused gaze looking downward. Her hair is styled up. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a high collar and a brooch at the neckline. The background features abstract lines and shading, with light coming through the window.
