Profile of a Young Girl – Pencil drawing on paper, late 19th century
A delicate drawing depicting the profile of a young girl, executed in pencil on paper.
The artist has captured the model’s features with great sensitivity; her hair, pulled back into a soft bun, frames a face with fine, harmonious contours. The light touch of the drawing lends the entire piece a great sense of softness.
This study evokes the academic works and salon drawings of the late 19th century, a period during which depictions of women inspired by antiquity and the 18th century experienced a resurgence in popularity.
Presented in a round gilded wooden frame, this drawing reflects the prevailing taste for portraits and studies of female figures.
