This drawing shows a woman sitting in a room with her legs crossed. She’s wearing a dark dress with a high neckline and a fancy hairstyle. On her lap is a fan and a piece of fabric with flowers on it. The artist used soft shading to make her face and dress look three-dimensional. The background is simple, keeping focus on her. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style fits into the movement.
