Profile in a Bonnet

Gulácsy Lajos: grafika 23 x 31 cm: Női portré - 1900 - 1910. . A softly rendered graphite portrait presents a woman in side profile, her face turned toward the right beneath a dotted bonnet or cap. Fine, tentative contours define the nose, chin, neck, and broad nineteenth-century dress, while faint vertical and diagonal strokes suggest pleats and folds in the clothing. The muted paper and restrained drawing create a quiet, archival character, with the figure emerging gently from the spacious, unworked ground.
