Adelaide Labille-Guiard, trois crayon chalk drawing
Study of a Seated Woman Seen from Behind (Marie-Gabrielle Capet), Adélaïde Labille-Guiard

Original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A beautiful drawing by the 18th century French painter, and a wonderful example of the expressive possibilities for creating naturalistic portraits and figures in the "trois crayon" method of using three chalks — red, black and white — on toned paper.
