The model is the same as in the previous drawing. The position at a window is the same, but here the woman is leaning her head on her hand. As a consequence her face is shaded, but in general the outlines are simplified and the contrast between light and dark is greater. In the background the wash has been applied in a more fluid way. There are corrections in white on the raised hand and the cheek, and also on the sleeve. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 333]
