On the Balcony

Célestin François Nanteuil

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a woman on a balcony. The woman stands with her back to the viewer. She wears a white dress and faces left. Her right arm bends at the elbow, her hand near her face. A man stands behind her, obscured. He wears a dark jacket, his face turned down. Potted plants sit on the balcony railing in front of the woman. Vines hang from above and around the balcony. A sliver of a crescent moon is visible in the top left corner. The background shows the wall of a building behind the woman. The artist's name is written in the bottom-left corner.
