Young Woman Standing is a 1804 by Horace Vernet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing still in a plain dress with puffed sleeves and a high collar. Her arms are crossed, and she’s wearing a long, simple skirt. The background is just a few loose brushstrokes—some trees and a faint outline of a wall. The artist focused on her face and clothes, leaving the rest rough. That’s typical of early sketches, where details come later. Want to see more? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for this piece.
