Brief description
The pattern is characterized by the free relaxation of the composition. The artist uses lines of varying nature and scale: thin outline and pencil hatching, as well as a wide shaping blur of yellow pastel. Thus, the image depicts a more detailed face - in contrast to the rather conditional soft silhouette of a female figure shown sitting in a light dress.
