Woman Standing by an Open Window 

"Woman Standing by an Open Window" is a black and white drawing by French artist Pierre Laprade (1875-1932). The drawing features a woman standing near an open window, looking out towards a garden. The artist uses simple lines to depict the woman's figure, with her form nearly dissolving into the background. This minimalist style is characteristic of Laprade’s work, often depicting people in everyday settings with a focus on capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow. This drawing serves as a poignant representation of introspective observation and the quiet intimacy of everyday life.
