Study of seated woman 

This pencil drawing by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, a prominent French Neoclassical artist, is a study for a larger work. The artist was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty of the human form. This small-scale drawing demonstrates the artist's mastery of line and form, focusing on the folds and drape of a seated woman's drapery. Ingres's mastery of drawing played a key role in developing the neoclassical style, characterized by its emphasis on classicism, order, and precision.
