A Young Woman of Frascati c. 1775 - 1776

"A Young Woman of Frascati" is a red chalk drawing by Jacques-Louis David, created between 1775 and 1776. The drawing depicts a young woman in profile, her head turned to the right, with her hair elaborately styled and adorned with a veil. The drawing is a masterful example of David's skill as a draftsman, and his ability to capture the likeness of his subjects with great precision. David was one of the leading figures of the Neoclassical movement in French art, and his work is characterized by its clarity, simplicity, and emphasis on line. This drawing is a testament to his skill as a draftsman and his mastery of Neoclassical style.
