Fancy

Norbert Goeneutte

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a woman titled "Fancy" by Norbert Goeneutte. The woman sits on a ornate bench, facing forward and slightly to the right. She has dark hair styled in an updo and wears a long dress with a ruffled skirt and a jacket or bodice with puffy sleeves. The dress has a high neckline and appears to be made of a shiny fabric. The woman's left arm rests on the arm of the bench, while her right hand is raised to her face. The bench has a high back with a carved design featuring flowers and leaves. The wall behind the bench is light-colored with a darker lower section and has a decorative trim along the top. Small insects, possibly dragonflies or butterflies, are scattered throughout the air around the woman. The overall style of the drawing is detailed and realistic, with heavy shading and texture.
