Study of a Standing Woman

Italian 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. The individual has a solemn expression, delicate features, medium-length hair, and is wrapped in flowing cloth. Their hands are visible holding the fabric close to their chest. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain, accentuating the figure and detailing of the drapery. The artwork is presented on a light-colored mount contrasting with the sepia-toned drawing.
