Woman in Profile, Turned to the Left, 1784. Creator: Henri-Pierre Danloux (French, 1753-1809)
Woman in Profile, Turned to the Left, 1784. Danloux worked in Lyon from 1783 to 1784, specializing in profile portraits. Based on the date inscribed on the drawing, this unidentified young woman may have been a member of the aristocracy in that city. Danloux combined black lines with stumping--a method of blurring the powdery drawing media with a tightly rolled piece of cloth or leather--to achieve a greater range of textures and tones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait titled "Woman in Profile, Turned to the Left" created by Henri-Pierre Danloux in 1784. The artist, who worked extensively in Lyon during that time, specialized in profile portraits like this one. The young woman depicted remains unidentified but is believed to have been a member of the aristocracy residing in Lyon. Danloux's artistic technique is truly remarkable as he skillfully combines black lines with stumping. Stumping involves using a tightly rolled piece of cloth or leather to blur the powdery drawing media, resulting in an exquisite range of textures and tones within the artwork. Executed on off-white laid paper, this charcoal and black chalk drawing bears Danloux's signature rendered in brown ink. Its delicate details and masterful execution exemplify the artist's talent and expertise. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this 18th-century masterpiece offers us a glimpse into both French history and artistry. It is now part of The Cleveland Museum of Art collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
