From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

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.
