Copy of a Roman Statue of a Seated Woman

Domenico Ghirlandaio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of a woman sitting on a chair or throne-like object. The woman's head and feet are not fully drawn or are cropped. She wears a long dress with a V-neck and long sleeves. A sash cinches at her waist. The dress appears to be made of a flowing material, with folds and creases indicated by lines. The woman sits with her legs crossed and her hands in her lap. The sketch is drawn in black on aged paper with visible discoloration and stains. The drawing style is detailed with cross-hatching. The woman's attire and posture suggest a classical or historical influence.
