Standing Woman, Facing Left c. 1850

"Standing Woman, Facing Left" is a pen and ink drawing by Dante Gabriel Rossetti from the mid-19th century. The artwork depicts a woman in profile, standing with her arms crossed, and wearing a long dress. The drawing utilizes hatching to create the illusion of form and texture, a characteristic of Rossetti's style. Rossetti's works are often associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of artists who sought to revive artistic principles from before the Italian High Renaissance.
