Femme debout de face 1772

"Femme debout de face" is a 1772 drawing by the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard. This drawing depicts a woman in a flowing dress standing in profile, her head slightly lowered. The subtle hatching in Fragonard's signature style creates a sense of movement and texture. The drawing is part of the "Recueil de Desseins dessinés d’après les tableaux de la Galerie du Roi" ("Collection of Drawings Drawn after the Paintings of the King's Gallery") which is a collection of reproductions of paintings from the collection of Louis XV. "Femme debout de face" can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
