Petit portrait

Maurice Dumont

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a baby. The baby is facing forward and appears to be lying down or reclined slightly upwards. The upper body and facial area of the baby are more defined. The baby has soft, rounded facial features with large eyes and a small mouth. The hair is light and short, styled with a few wisps on the forehead. The baby is dressed in a gown with puffy sleeves, indicated by light pencil lines. There are no visible indications of jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain with no other elements present, focusing entirely on the baby.
