Figure of a woman 1994

Edwin Austin Abbey's 1994 drawing, "Figure of a Woman," is a simple yet evocative sketch. Rendered in charcoal on a pale blue paper, the piece features a single female figure. The woman's form is partially obscured by shadows, leaving the viewer to interpret the details. Her pose, with her head slightly bent and one hand raised, suggests a sense of contemplation or introspective thought. This sketch, though unfinished, exemplifies Abbey's mastery of capturing a fleeting moment and conveying a sense of emotion with minimal detail.
