JEAN-LÉON GÉRÔME
Portrait de femme.

Pencil on cream wove paper, circa 1850. 240x183 mm; 9 1/2x7 1/4 inches. Signed and dedicated in pencil, upper left recto.

This drawing may be a preliminary study for Gérôme's (1824-1904) profile portrait of Cecile Viter, 1850, private collection, who the sitter in the current work resembles.
