Portrait of a Young Lady in Profile, about 1783-1785. Additional Info: Smiling with parted lips, the young woman exhibits her elegant profile and bright eyes. An exuberant, soft mane of hair; a wide wreath of a stiffened, ruffled collar; and a lively striped sleeve and bodice surround her smooth, meticulously finished and delicately modeled face. An artfully disarrayed ribbon catches the rich black chalk curlicues of hair.
