Charlotte Bronte sketch

I found this so interesting. Until bronzino bought it up recently, I never thought about a lot of Jane Eyre being autobiographical, but I can see now how that could be the case. She was much more attractive than the self portrait, if that's what it was, but I can see how she would've drawn it with all her perceived flaws in mind. Surprising to hear that she'd devoted up to 9 hours a day to drawing and painting at one point.
