after Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones

The image is a sketch of a person lying on their side. The person is reclining on a surface with their head on a pillow, body horizontal. The face is turned slightly towards the viewer, with closed eyes and soft waves of hair. They are wearing a long, patterned garment with a belt, and a circlet around their head. Their feet are covered with shoes or slippers featuring buttons or ornaments. The background is plain textured paper with no additional elements.
