This red chalk drawing by John Hoppner, a prominent British portrait painter of the late 18th century, depicts the bust of a woman in a simple yet elegant dress, her hair adorned with a decorative headband. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of volume and depth, capturing the subject's subtle features and conveying her refined demeanor. While the identity of the sitter remains unknown, the drawing serves as a testament to Hoppner's mastery of portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture both the physical likeness and the inner spirit of his subjects.
