Junge Frau mit brennender Kerze
1750
From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
Junge Frau mit brennender Kerze is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
This drawing shows a woman holding a lit candle in her right hand. She’s dressed in a loose, warm-looking robe with a green stripe at the neckline. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s looking slightly down, with a soft glow on her face from the flame. The dark background makes the candle’s light stand out, highlighting her skin and clothes. The lines in the drawing are fine and crisscrossed, giving it a textured look. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
