An Elegant Lady of the Eighteenth Century Holding a Fan

Carl Larsson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a person seated in a chair, seen from the back. The person's head is turned slightly to the left, with their hair styled in a bun tied with a ribbon. They are wearing a long, flowing garment with loose sleeves, and their left arm rests on the chair's backrest. The chair is intricately designed, and there are no visible accessories or objects. The background is a plain, light brown paper, emphasizing the central figure.
