Woman with a Mirror, from the Villa Borghese

Französische Grafik 1762–1775, 1775/80

The image displays a person seen from behind, standing upright with their left arm slightly extended and the right arm resting at their side. The person's hair is neatly styled and gathered at the back, and they are wearing flowing, classical-style drapery that reaches the feet. The left hand appears to be holding or gesturing with an object, and the background is plain with visible stains and discoloration on the paper.
