Zittende dame met hoge pruik 1781

"Zittende dame met hoge pruik" (Seated Lady with a Tall Wig) is a charcoal and chalk drawing by Louis Bernard Coclers, created in 1781. The drawing portrays a woman seated in profile, wearing a tall, elaborate wig and a simple, loose gown. Her hands are obscured by the fabric, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation. The soft, muted tones of the drawing create a sense of intimacy and melancholy, characteristic of Coclers' work, known for its expressive use of line and subtle shading.
