Portrait of the Artist's Wife, Sarah Edwards Nast

Thomas Nast

National Gallery of Art

The sketch depicts a person in side profile, showing their upper torso and head. The individual's face is turned slightly to the left, with facial features including a slightly upturned nose, downcast eyes, and wavy short to medium-length hair. They are wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a coat with a fur collar, and a small earring. The background is neutral with crosshatching textures.
