Portrait of the Artist's Daughter, c. 1810. Martin Drölling (French, 1752-1817). Black chalk on tan wove paper; sheet: x cm (8 3/8 x 7 5/16 in.). Martin Drölling was an accomplished portraitist, known for intimate depictions that revealed their sitters’ personalities. This drawing shows his daughter, Louise Adéone (1797–before 1831) wearing a fashionable dress and hat. The young woman meets the artist’s gaze directly and confidently, her features delineated by a combination of smooth lines and soft shading in charcoal.
