Portrait of a young woman 1503

Albrecht Dürer's "Portrait of a young woman", created in 1503, is a masterful example of the artist's skill in pencil drawing. This portrait, which is a bust-length composition, shows a young woman with her hair pulled back in a braid and adorned with a headband. The subject's face is rendered with remarkable detail, highlighting the artist's keen observation of human anatomy and expression. The subtle shading and meticulous lines create a sense of depth and realism, making the woman appear almost lifelike. This artwork serves as a testament to Dürer's exceptional mastery of draftsmanship and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through his art.
