A well finished Sketch of a young woman who I think was the eldest daughter of one of my mother’s neighbors. It was done on an ochre paper base. As the drawing was found with a simple paper mat, I think it was used as a sample to be displayed when my mother setup her little “Portrait Rapide” stall when she was participating in the street art events in her area.

While looking through pictures of her other drawings, I found what I think is another drawing of the same young woman on grey paper. Which is not as finely finished as this drawing and appears to be with a slightly different hair style and a different outfit.
