Portrait of a Veiled Woman, Circa 1910, Pastel and charcoal on textured paper

Pastel and charcoal on textured paper, c. 1890–1910.

Executed in the academic realism tradition, this intimate half-length portrait captures a veiled woman cast in soft, radiant light. 

The paper bears timeworn imperfections — thumbtack holes, a torn top edge, and velvety surface wear — adding historic texture and authenticity. This piece is sold unframed, allowing collectors to preserve the raw studio aesthetic or elevate with bespoke mounting.
