"Little Lady", created in 1778 by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc, portrays a fashionable couple at the Palais Royal in Paris. The elegant woman with an elaborate hairstyle is dressed in a pale lilac gown with gauze trim, while the man is shown bowing to her. This pen and ink drawing is an example of Le Clerc's detailed and charming style, which captured the fashion and social life of his time.
