Young Woman on Sofa with Book, Late 19th C. Graphite Drawing signage No shedding rust and reallyOne of two c. late 19th century graphite drawings found together, certainly by the same person and surely pulled from the same sketchbook. I really love the face on this young woman, looking quite confident and wise beyond her years and also with a certain luxuriousness to her situation, big fluffy pillow under her elbow and book open beside her. A nice one for hanging near one's favorite reading spot. 6 3 8" x 4 1 2" and in very good condition, paper
