A Wife Showing Good Temper and Humour, after Lavater
A pencil drawing in profile of an older woman wearing a lace-trimmed bonnet tied with a bow under her chin. Her eyes are downcast, her mouth is set in a slight pursed expression, and her shoulders are draped in a shawl. Soft shading on the cheek and background sits on warm, tan paper.
