Fillette regardant vers le haut 

This charcoal and pastel drawing by Paul César Helleu, titled "Fillette regardant vers le haut," is a beautiful example of the artist's signature style of capturing fleeting moments of elegance and grace. The drawing depicts a young girl in a wide-brimmed hat, her gaze turned upwards as if in contemplation. Helleu's delicate, flowing lines bring a sense of movement and life to the subject, while the subtle use of color adds depth and richness to the composition. The artist is known for his portraits of society women, but in this work, he captures the innocence and charm of childhood.
