I don't know if this is really it but this drawing looks so much like the wedding gift given to Danielle by Da Vinci at the end of the movie Ever After. By my standards that movie is one of the best alternative Cinderella stories ever so I had to pick this drawing. Of course, the movie is fictional so it's not like I really know the orgins of the sketch but I still love it.
The skill level of Da Vinci is so immense I'm not sure if I should be inspired or just quit because I'll never manage to be that amazing. His blending and shading is seamless and the way he's drawn her hair is almost minimalist in that he uses so few lines yet those lines speak to her having a full and untameable mane of hair. it's positively stunning.
just draw a lot, you'll get it - portraits are easy b/c everyone has the same parts - many artists start by drawing their 'other' hand - Da Vinci and Michaelangelo both did hundreds of hands.. most crafts just take thousands of hours of practice, & of course, with a genius, there's something else practice doesn't inject - I call it "inner light"
