Lady Seated on a See-Saw 

This red chalk drawing by Nicolas Lancret depicts a woman seated on a see-saw, likely a preparatory study for a larger work. Lancret, a prominent French Rococo artist, was known for his lively depictions of everyday life, often featuring elegant figures in playful scenes. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing capture the movement and energy of the pose, highlighting the artist’s focus on capturing naturalism. This intimate sketch provides a glimpse into Lancret's creative process and his ability to convey a sense of movement and spontaneity.
