Seated woman searching for fleas by Adriaen van de Velde. A drawing of a woman seated on the ground, wearing a long dress. Her hair is pulled back into a bun. She is looking down at her body, specifically at her chest and breast area. Her right leg is extended, and her left leg is bent. One arm is raised to her hair. The drawing is in red chalk on beige paper. The woman's facial expression appears to be one of concentration or discomfort. The drawing depicts a study of a woman. The overall mood of the drawing appears to be one of quiet intimacy.
