Buste van een jonge vrouw 1767 - 1768

This delicate chalk drawing by Louis Marin Bonnet, titled "Buste van een jonge vrouw" (Bust of a Young Woman), dates from 1767-1768. The piece showcases Bonnet's mastery of detail and subtle shading, capturing the soft features and contemplative gaze of the young woman. The elegant, restrained style of the drawing reflects the taste for Neoclassicism prevalent in the late 18th century. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights the allure of feminine beauty and the artist's skill in capturing a fleeting moment in time.
