Celeste Richomme n.d.

This graphite drawing by Louis-Antoine-Léon Riesener depicts Celeste Richomme, a woman with her hair styled in a bun and a decorative headwrap. The artist captures the sitter's serene expression, emphasizing the delicate lines of her face and neck. Riesener's use of shading creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the subtle contours of Richomme's features. The drawing showcases Riesener's skill in capturing likeness, and the overall composition reflects the artist's interest in portraiture. The work is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a major collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art.
