The Milliner (La modiste)

Norbert Goeneutte

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two sculpted figures and various objects. The composition includes two busts, a figure in profile with an elaborate hairstyle, and partially sketched garment or cloth. The drawing exhibits a sketchy style with sparse lines emphasizing the forms and features. The lines are light and loose, giving an impression of quick motion or an initial draft. Shading through line movements adds texture and dimension. The scene suggests an art or craftsmanship setting.
