Portrait of a Young Woman Wearing a Cloak and Bonnet, 1850, Graphite on wove paper, Sheet: 9 5/8 x 7 1/2 in. (24.5 x 19 cm), Drawings, Théodore Chassériau (French, Le Limon, Saint-Domingue, West Indies 1819–1856 Paris), In this beautiful image, Chassériau devoted more attention to the woman’s garments and accessories than to her features—the opposite approach his teacher, Ingres, took in portrait drawings. An array of vigorous lines describes the voluminous folds of her cloak, while her face, framed by a bonnet, appears almost ghostly by comparison, rendered in the faintest graphite shading
