Kreivitär Ulrika Eleonora von Fersen

Executed in pastel, the drawing exploits the medium’s capacity for delicate tonal transitions. The artist’s handling of the pigment on paper yields a velvety surface, while the limited use of cross‑hatching and stippling suggests a careful approach to modeling form within the constraints of a less common medium for portraiture.

The portrait’s origin, including its date and creator, is not recorded in the supplied information. Its association with Countess von Fersen indicates a likely private commission, and the work now resides in the museum’s collection as a representative example of pastel portraiture.
