Woman with Tambourines

Jacques-Louis David

National Gallery of Art

The image is a line drawing of a full-length figure of a person. The individual is standing upright and facing slightly to the right. Their head is turned to the side with distinct facial features visible. The person is dressed in a draped garment that flows from the shoulders to the feet. The right arm is extended downward, holding a round object. Another larger round object is depicted in the background behind the person's left side. In the background, there is a sketch of a raised hand. The paper on which the drawing is made is textured and slightly discolored, with visible wear along the edges.
