Standing Woman with an Ermine Muff

Giovanni Paolo Panini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a woman standing, turned to the left. Her curly hair is pulled back. She wears a dress with a fitted, long-sleeved top adorned with lace and a full skirt. A muff made of ermine fur is held in her right hand, positioned in front of her waist. The drawing is rendered in pencil on aged paper with a light brown hue. The woman's facial features are minimal, with only a suggestion of her expression. The overall style of the drawing is simple and elegant.
