Location

A vertically oriented drawing in black and white chalk on brown paper closely crops around the head and shoulders of a woman with light skin tone in profile, facing right. Her dark hair is gathered and bound by a pale cloth. A wooden staff rests across her shoulders, gripped firmly. Fine white highlights illuminate her forehead and ruffled neckline, while blended charcoal shading defines the facial contours against a textured, brown paper background.
