A wonderfully detailed and attractive work, I know nothing of the artist and wonder if it was drawn for a fashion magazine. The only colour is that the subject has red lips with, if you look at the original closely, deep green earrings.

The original mount was poor so it has been re-mounted into its original oak frame which has a narrow gold slip insert.
