Seated Female Figure for "San Francisco" is a 1856 graphite by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall. She's wearing a long dress and has her head tilted back, looking up. The woman's body is relaxed, with her legs stretched out to the side. The wall behind her has some writing on it, but it's hard to make out what it says. The overall mood of the sketch is calm and peaceful. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to check out the Impressionism movement.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
