Lady in a garden 18th century

This 18th-century pastel drawing, created by an anonymous artist, depicts a woman in a garden setting. The woman is depicted in an elegant blue and white dress, interacting with a cherub sculpture. The scene is rendered with soft, delicate hues and a painterly touch, characteristic of pastel drawings of the period. This artwork, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, is a charming example of 18th-century portraiture, showcasing the allure of nature and the romantic ideal of the time.
