Study of an Angel

Eugène Devéria

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an upper-body sketch of a person facing to the right in profile. The person has their hands clasped together in front of them. The individual's face shows a sloping forehead, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips. Their hair is styled back neatly with loose curls at the back, and they are wearing a garment with puffed sleeves and a wide neckline. There is no visible jewelry, and the background is plain.
