Portrait 

"Portrait" is a graphite drawing by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, known for his intricate and often mind-bending works. This drawing depicts the head and shoulders of a young woman, rendered in a realistic style. Escher’s use of shading and detail creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the subject's soft features and contemplative gaze. The piece is a departure from his more well-known works featuring impossible geometries, showcasing his early mastery of representational art.
