Frau Steger before 1828

This pencil drawing, "Frau Steger," is a portrait by German artist Johann Peter Krafft, known for his Neoclassical style. The artwork, completed before 1828, showcases a woman in profile with a braided bun and intricately styled hair. The subject's delicate features and the artist's precise use of line create a sense of realism and grace, characteristic of Neoclassical portraiture. Krafft's mastery of light and shadow contributes to the depth and dimensionality of the portrait. This intimate portrayal of a woman captures the essence of the early 19th-century aesthetic.
