Woman from the Villa Albani

Jacques-Louis David

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person standing upright. The person is positioned with their weight slightly shifted to one side, with the right arm bent, holding a thin, elongated object. The left hand is clenched in a fist at chest level. The facial features are classicized, with a calm expression, and the head has wavy hair styled back. The figure is wearing draped clothing, reminiscent of classical attire, and circular earrings. The background is plain.
