Deirdre of the Sorrows 

"Deirdre of the Sorrows" is a powerful pencil drawing by Scottish artist John Duncan, known for his contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement. The work depicts a woman with long flowing hair, draped in a veil, and her head resting on her hand, a poignant image of grief and sorrow. The somber tone and intricate details of the drawing invite viewers to contemplate the depths of Deirdre's emotional state, emphasizing the theme of sorrow and loss. The background features stylized geometric patterns, which contribute to the overall sense of melancholy. Duncan's art often explored themes of Celtic mythology and folklore, and this drawing captures the essence of a tragic heroine, Deirdre, from Irish legend.
