Nymph followed by Apollo holding a laurel wreath 

Maurice Quentin de La Tour’s pastel drawing, "Nymph followed by Apollo holding a laurel wreath," depicts a young woman in a delicate pose, her gaze directed away from the viewer. She wears a floral crown and a loose-fitting gown, signifying her connection to nature. The faint outline of Apollo, represented by a laurel wreath, suggests a mythological narrative and adds a sense of mystery to the piece. La Tour, known for his mastery of pastel, captures the soft features and delicate beauty of the subject with remarkable precision.
