La Fete Champetre - A country celebration.

'Four studies of a young woman's head', 1716-1717. The upper two studies show a model's head from above and looking to the left. The lower two, again from above, are looking to the right. Three of the heads show the woman in profile, though at different angles. The head at lower left is the only one in which we see three-quarters of her face. Two ribbons in her hair gently fall across her head. Watteau has used his favourite combination of black, red and white chalks. This technique 'à trois crayons' became widely used by French artists of the eighteenth century. PD, 1895-9-15-941
