Young Woman with a Bowl, Seated Outdoors is a 1733 graphite by Johann Justin Preissler, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits outside, holding a shallow bowl in one hand. Her dress is mostly white with a red stripe down the front and sleeves. The fabric looks soft, almost flowing, and she’s resting on a cloth that’s also red and white. Behind her, a rough sketch of bushes and a fence shows up in faint lines. The artist used only a few colors—black, red, and white chalk—to make the whole thing. The shadows and light are simple but help shape her body and clothes. Next, check out the Baroque movement to see how this sketch fits into its time.
