A Lady and Gentleman with Exaggerated Headdresses is a 1779 chalk by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people in big, fancy clothes. The woman wears a towering wig and a long dress with layers of fabric. The man has a powdered wig and a decorated coat, holding a hat. In the background, a servant and another figure stand near a stone wall. The artist used red chalk on light paper, which gives the drawing a soft, warm look. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. Next, check out Le Clerc, Pierre Thomas to see more of his playful drawings.
