        "description": "This drawing depicts the figure of Penelope, featured in a painting by Lemonnier exhibited in the Salon of 1806, <em>The Departure of Ulysses and Penelope for Ithaca</em> (now in the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de Rouen). Essentially a drapery study of the high-waisted dress worn by the figure in the painting, it corresponds to the final work. The artist focused mostly on the play of light and shadow, varying the pressure of the chalk strokes and using a stump to smudge the chalk in order to produce a variety of tonal effects. The idealized face of the figure recalls classical sculpture and reflects the artist's academic training as well as the style of figural representation favored by the artists of Jacques-Louis David's generation.",
