About the Work

This drawing is unusually large in scale. The artist probably executed it as a study for a larger composition. As no corre- sponding painting is known to us, it is difficult to tell whether the aim was a portrait of the huntress or a decorative composition, for example a sopraporta. Watteau applied the chalk rapidly and confidently, using simple means to reproduce the treetops just as skilfully as he did the clothing and the plants on the bank of the stream.
