Young Woman Standing c. 1880

This graphite drawing, created around 1880 by French Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, depicts a young woman standing in profile. Renoir's signature loose and expressive style is evident in the sketchy lines that capture the subject's form and the soft shading that suggests her clothing. The woman's face, partially obscured by her hat, adds a sense of mystery to the composition, characteristic of Renoir's interest in capturing fleeting moments and individual beauty.
