Two Seated Ladies

Nicolas Lancret

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rough sketch of two seated figures. Both figures are shown from head to feet. The person in the foreground is slightly turned to the side, leaning back with their legs extended forward and crossed at the ankles. Their facial features are indistinct, and the hair appears short and textured. This figure wears a flowing garment with folds around them and holds a folded fan. Behind and slightly to the left of this person, a second figure is seated with an arm raised toward their face. This figure's facial features and hair are also not clearly defined. The person appears to be wearing a similar flowing garment. The background is plain and unadorned.
