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.
