Profile of a woman — Portrait of Józefa Borowska, singer and actress, by Miroslaw Gajewski-Ostoja 1867–1931. Polish, 1910. Pastel drawing, 65 × 49 cm., A soft, pastel portrait of a young person shown in profile facing right, with an oval face, gentle features, and slightly parted lips; the hair is dark brown and appears softly blended into the background, creating a halo-like effect of warm beige and tan tones around the head. The skin is pale cream with subtle blushes of pink on the cheeks and lips, and the eye is shaded with darker brown and black accents. Surrounding the figure are sweeping, airy strokes in muted beige, tan, and faint warm brown, with hints of very light blue and green near the lower area, all on a warm off-white or ivory paper background. The overall palette is composed of warm browns, cream, beige, pink, and touches of pale blue and green.
