Jean-Michel the Younger Moreau drew a seated woman holding a cat around 1776. It’s a portrait in Romanticism style, so expect soft mood over sharp details. The Goncourt brothers, famous 19th-century writers, once owned this sheet. Their collector stamp sits in the corner. The artist may have drawn a relative of the poet Louis Gresset. Want more? Look up Jean-Michel the Younger Moreau (French, 1741–1814).
