Seated Girl in Peasant Costume

Swiss 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image is a charcoal sketch of a person seated on a wooden chair. The person is turned sideways, with hands clasped in their lap. Their facial features are delicately expressed, and the hair is mostly covered by a bonnet, with some of the hairline visible. They are wearing a long dress with long sleeves and a large collar, tied at the neck. The person is also wearing shoes. The background is empty with soft shading to suggest space. There is a profile sketch of another face on the right side of the image.
