Drie studies van een meisje 1860 - 1921

"Drie studies van een meisje," meaning "Three Studies of a Girl" is a pencil drawing on paper created by Dutch artist Adolf le Comte between 1860 and 1921. Le Comte is known for his portraits and landscapes, and his drawings are characterized by their loose and expressive style. The drawing depicts three different views of a young girl, each capturing a different aspect of her features. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching gives the figures a sense of volume and depth. The overall effect is one of casual observation, capturing the essence of the subject rather than presenting a highly polished image. This study is an example of the genre of portraiture in drawing. It is a quick and informal sketch, likely made for the artist's own use.
