About This Work

This sketch depicts a female figure in profile, her garments wind-swept to suggest rapid movement. She balances a large vessel on her head with one arm while carrying a second container at her side. The work is a study of a specific figure from Raphael's fresco 'The Fire in the Borgo' in the Vatican.
