A Young Woman in Profile

Henry Tonks

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile of an individual with only the upper part of the body visible. The person is facing to the right with their head slightly tilted downward. Their facial features are drawn with delicate lines, highlighting a well-defined nose and lips, and their hair is neatly pulled back. The clothing appears to be a simple garment that fits close to the body. There are no visible accessories, jewelry, or objects being held. The background is filled with light pencil shading. The etching is signed and dated at the lower right corner.
