At the Ball (recto); La femme à l'éventail, after Goya (verso)

Constantin Guys

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two black and white sketches of women on aged paper. The left sketch depicts a woman in a ball gown with her body facing right and her head turned to face forward. She wears a crown-like hairpiece, dangling earrings, and a bracelet on her right wrist. Her dress has a low neckline, short sleeves, and a full skirt. The right sketch shows a woman holding a fan, facing left. She wears a short-sleeved dress and has dark hair. The background behind her is dark. The image appears to be a reproduction or adaptation of a work by Goya, as indicated by text at the bottom. Both sketches have a range of grey tones and appear to be in a realistic style. The paper is aged, with visible signs of wear and tear.
