Woman Looking Upwards n.d.

This anonymous red chalk drawing, titled *Woman Looking Upwards*, features a woman's head and shoulders, depicted in a three-quarter profile view. The woman's gaze is directed upwards, her mouth slightly parted as if in prayer or contemplation. The artist's use of red chalk creates a delicate, almost ethereal quality. The drawing is part of the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the institution's diverse collection of works spanning across various periods and styles. The artwork is a fine example of the study of human anatomy and gesture, common in the practice of drawing throughout history.
