Jeune Fille (à la lampe) (Young Girl by Lamplight)

Gwen John

National Gallery of Art

The image is a pencil sketch of a person's upper body facing forward with head slightly turned to the left. The shoulder and facial features, like eyes, lips, nose, and hair are detailed. The clothing is also sketched with light strokes, and the person seems to be holding part of the garment near the neck. The background is plain without any distinct elements.
