Pencil drawing on pink paper of a woman with wavy hair, gazing upward with parted lips, her hand resting beside her chin.

A woman, the physiognomy of whom expresses attention excited by desire. Drawing, c. 1794.

A pencil drawing on pinkish-toned paper shows a woman's head and shoulders turned upward and to the side, her eyes lifted and lips parted. Her wavy hair falls behind her shoulder, and her hand rests lightly against her chin in a draped garment.

Um desenho a lápis sobre papel de tom rosado mostra a cabeça e os ombros de uma mulher voltados para cima e para o lado, com os olhos erguidos e os lábios entreabertos. Seus cabelos ondulados caem atrás do ombro, e a mão repousa levemente junto ao queixo.
