Woman in Profile (Charcoal on Sketch Paper)

Sorry about the glare on the glass: I did my best. I personally am not a fan of charcoal sketches or pencil sketches of any kind, but this one is pretty nice. 

As usual with very personal and seemingly-intimate art of this type, I am always curious about the backstory: who was this woman? What was the artist’s relationship with her? Where were they then? Where are they now? A lot can happen in 26 years…
