Woolf in 1902 by George Charles Beresford Portrait of Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941), a British author and feminist, with her chignon. A black and white portrait photograph of Virginia Woolf shown in soft three-quarter profile facing left. She has dark hair swept up and gathered into a low, loose chignon at the nape of her neck. Her features are delicate — a long, fine nose, deep-set eyes with a contemplative, faraway gaze, and a gentle mouth. She wears a light-colored blouse with a soft, slightly ruffled or gathered neckline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Woolf#/media/File:George_Charles_Beresford_-_Virginia_Woolf_in_1902_-_Restoration.jpg
