This is a side-view drawing of a woman with short, wavy hair, looking up and to the left. Her expression is calm, almost lost in thought. The woman is George Sand, a famous writer who used a man’s name so her books would be taken seriously. The artist, David d’Angers, made portraits of many important people at the time. He drew her with respect, showing her strength and independence. If you like this, look up more works from *France, 19th century*.
