Portrait of Miss Edith Austin 1895 - 1900

Theodore Roussel's "Portrait of Miss Edith Austin" is an etching that captures the likeness of a young woman with a delicate and refined air. The artist was a French-American who specialized in portraiture. The image is a close-up of the subject, showing her from the chest up, with a focus on her facial features. The artist's skillful use of etching techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in her hair and clothing. This work, created between 1895 and 1900, is a testament to Roussel's talent for portraying the beauty and personality of his subjects.
