Artist Sketching a Young Girl c. 1773

Hubert Robert, a renowned French artist known for his picturesque landscapes and architectural views, captured a candid moment in his drawing "Artist Sketching a Young Girl" (c. 1773). The drawing depicts a man, likely the artist himself, seated and sketching a young girl standing before him. A woman, perhaps the girl's companion, observes the scene. The composition features the figures in a relaxed pose, suggesting a private and intimate setting, capturing the charm of a fleeting everyday encounter.
