    I’m surprised you didn’t comment on the broken window.

    1. I mentioned it briefly in my second post about Villers: http://www.linesandcolors.com/2009/11/29/marie-denise-villers-update/

      Both of my posts about Villers are essentially about this painting, as I can find frustratingly little else about her, basically three additional paintings, reproduced quite small: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marie-Denise_Villers_-_Une_etude_de_femme_d%27apres_nature.jpg

      I do maintain that Young Woman Drawing is very likely a self portrait.

  2. That last painting you link to seems much more mannered than the others.

  3. I’m pretty sure she just winked at me…
