Susanne (The Artist's Daughter at the Age of Twenty-One) is a 1782 by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A woman in a loose white dress stands on a grassy hillside, holding a piece of paper or cloth. Behind her, a cloudy sky meets rolling hills and scattered trees. Her hair is pulled up, and she looks off to the side with a calm expression. This sketch feels quick and natural, like a moment caught on the spot. The artist signed it in the corner, marking the year 1782. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
