Description

Pencil drawing mounted on paperboard; bust-length portrait of woman wearing a tall crown, a coif edged in pearls, a long sheer veil, a beaded necklace and vaguely classical dress with pins or buttons at the shoulders; woman has her arm around a young child, probably a girl, who lightly holds the woman's fingers in her own hand; features and dress of the child are less detailed and complete; drawing signed in pencil at bottom "CL"; paperboard embossed with rectangular frame; corners of paper have been cut to heighten the illusion of the frame; on reverse, illegible pencil notation.
