Standing Young Peasant Woman is a 1685 ink by Sébastien Le Clerc I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching on laid paper depicts a young peasant woman standing in a long, loose-fitting dress. Her hair is pulled back, and she looks to her right. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her hand rests on her hip. The background is plain, with no visible details or scenery. The woman's dress is draped elegantly around her body, with folds of fabric visible at her waist and hips. Her facial expression is neutral, giving no clear indication of her emotions or thoughts. The simplicity of the composition and the focus on the woman's figure suggest a sense of quiet contemplation.
