Study of Young Girls 1822 - 1885

Rodolphe Bresdin's "Study of Young Girls" is a delicate pen-and-ink drawing featuring two young girls, one with a large, ornate hat and the other with a butterfly in her hair, in a close-up portrait style. The intricate lines and delicate shading showcase Bresdin's mastery of draftsmanship. This intimate study of childhood innocence is a small but impactful work, highlighting Bresdin's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday moments. The work is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
