"Lady Seen from Behind" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Jansz. Quast. It depicts a woman in a long dress, seen from behind, her head turned slightly to the left. The drawing, created in the 17th century, showcases Quast's skill in capturing the flow of drapery and the delicate contours of the human form. Though a simple composition, it reveals Quast's interest in the human figure and the elegance of everyday clothing.
