Two women, one supporting the other, in a delicate line drawing on aged paper
Detailed Description
The image is a monochrome line drawing on light-colored, aged paper. It depicts two women, rendered with fine, delicate lines, standing in close proximity. The woman on the left is slightly taller and appears to be supporting the woman on the right. She wears a long, flowing skirt and a veil draped over her head and shoulders, extending down her back. Her left arm is gently wrapped around the waist of the other woman, while her right hand delicately touches the other woman's neck or upper chest. Her face is in profile, looking towards the other woman. She is adorned with earrings, a nose ring, multiple necklaces, bangles on her wrists, and armlets. Her hair is pulled back. The woman on the right leans into the first woman, her head tilted back and eyes downcast or closed. She also wears a long skirt and a veil, which is draped over her head and shoulders. Her left arm is bent, with her hand holding a small, indistinct object near her waist. Her right arm is extended outwards, with her hand open, holding another small, indistinct object. She is adorned with multiple necklaces, earrings, a nose ring, and bangles. Her bare feet are visible at the bottom, showing anklets. Both figures are drawn with intricate details, highlighting the folds of their clothing and their elaborate jewelry. The background is plain, light-colored paper, showing some minor smudges and discoloration, particularly in the upper right and lower right corners. The overall composition is vertical, with the figures occupying the central space of the artwork.
