Girl Drawing

By Drharrietd @drharrietd

Continuing our occasional sub-set of women seen from the back, here is  'At the Window', by Martin Drolling (aka the Elder, French 1752-1817). Oil on canvas. National Pushkin Museum, Moscow.

I found it here, together with the following information:

The girl tracing a picture on the window is the artist’s daughter, Louise Adéone Drolling, a skilled painter in her own right. She was born in Paris in 1797 (and died young in 1831). Her father encouraged her talent for drawing and painting.
