Portrait of a Young Woman
A friend of Eastman Johnson's, Rowse worked in a manner similar to that of the better-known artist and, like Johnson, preferred to draw with charcoal and pastel rather than graphite. Unlike Johnson, however, Rowse was principally a lithographer and is not known to have used his drawings as studies for paintings.
