Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

The image shows a woman in an eighteenth-century gown standing in profile with her right foot forward. She has curly hair and a well-defined face. The gown has a high waist, a full skirt, and elbow-length sleeves with a distinctive fabric pattern. The background includes lightly sketched foliage and a cloud-filled sky. The image is framed by a dark border.
