A sketch of a young girl, Augusta Brown. This is one of the few sketches to have the name recorded on the drawing. It was also one of a few that Christine simply framed behind glass and hung in her gallery as a sample.
The portrait is an example of using conté crayon on grey paper. The grey paper fills in the mid-tones, with the black conté crayon working for the structure and shadows, while the white conté is lightly added to provide highlights and shape.
