1790
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Young Woman Seated is a 1790 by Pierre Paul Prud'hon, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a young woman seated in a chair, with her hands clasped together in front of her. She is dressed in a white dress with puffy sleeves and a colorful skirt. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her posture suggests that she is lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is contemplative and serene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the image.
