Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, MC better known as Mother Teresa, was an Albanian-Indian Catholic nun who, in 1950, founded the Missionaries of Charity.

She founded the order, The Missionaries of Charity, to look after abandoned babies and to help the poorest of the poor, once saying that they "lived like animals but die like angels". In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize and after her death was canonised as Saint Teresa.

In India she received a second call from God: to help the poor while living among them. She founded a new sisterhood, Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa and her helpers built homes for orphans, nursing homes for lepers and hospices for the terminally ill in Calcutta.

I did her portrait way back in 2015 using graphite pencils HB,and B pencils on smooth paper 250 gsm 9"x12". I coloured her head headgear in her signature blue colour.
