Descriptions

Description
The drawing depicts a bust portrait of a European girl, indicated by her light skin and hair. Her heavy-lidded eyes gaze off to the right as she has her left pointer finger up to her chin. In her right hand, she carries a small mango. While she wears a lilac-colored tunic, her bare, flat chest is exposed. She wears bejeweled earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.
