Woman in Toga [verso]

Hubert Robert

National Gallery of Art

The sketch displays a full-length figure of a person standing in a gentle, fluid pose. The individual is shown in a classical draped stance, with one arm extended forward and the other near the chest. The facial features are softly sketched, with a slightly tilted head. The person's hair is styled in a swept-back manner. They are dressed in traditional draped garments with no visible jewelry or objects held. In the background, a lightly sketched architectural element or column is visible. The image is drawn in soft pencil on a plain background, highlighting the lines and folds of the clothing.
