Young Woman on the Terrace (La jeune femme a la terrasse)

About this work

This print shows a woman sitting on a terrace, wrapped in a loose robe. Her hair is partly covered by a hat, and she holds a fan in one hand. The background has a rough, textured look with some faint shapes that might be trees or buildings. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and fabric folds, giving the image a detailed but slightly sketchy feel. The signature at the bottom reads "de Saint Aubin invent. et sculpsit," meaning the artist both designed and etched it. Try looking up etching to see how this technique works.
