Asher Brown Durand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Single Female Figure (from Sketchbook) by Asher Brown Durand. Pencil drawing on paper of a woman standing, facing slightly left. The woman wears a long dress with puffy sleeves, a low neckline, and a sash tied around her waist; her hair is pulled back. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, holding a cloth or fabric. The woman has bare feet. The background of the drawing is plain and featureless. The drawing is simple and appears to be a study or sketch.
