Dante Gabriel Rossetti

National Gallery of Art

The upper half of a person's body is shown in the image. The individual is in a relaxed pose on a sofa, with one arm resting on the furniture and the other draped across their lap. The person's soft facial features are visible under wavy hair that falls to the shoulders. They are wearing a long, flowing garment. The background features cross-hatched shading for texture. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background is created with sketched lines, adding to the overall monochromatic and sketch-like style of the image.
