Standing Servant Woman

Sébastien Le Clerc the elder

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a woman standing. She has her left hand on her hip and her right hand resting across her stomach. Her head is turned slightly to the right. She has long hair worn beneath a head covering. Her facial features are distinct, with a calm expression. She is wearing a long, loose dress with rolled-up sleeves, a buttoned front, and detailed texture indicating stripes on the skirt and a pattern on the bodice. She appears to be barefoot. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects. The background is minimal.
