One witness described how, when a sitter arrived at his studio, the artist ‘would take a little piece of blue paper upon a board before him, & look upon the Life & draw his figures & postures all in Suden lines, as angles with black chalk & heighten with white chalke’.","physicalDescription":"Drawing, three-quarter length, standing to the left, resting her right hand on the head of a dog, which jumps up at her. She is fully attired, wearing a stomacher, with a collar, decorative bows and cuffs; her short sleeves and absence of tabs at the bodice suggest an informal note.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Van Dyck, Anthony (Sir)","id":"A8938"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"black chalk","id":"AAT80058"},{"text":"white chalk","id":"x39202"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Black chalk, heightened with white, on light brown paper","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"}],"styles":[{"text":"Flemish","id":"AAT111184"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006BH2700","2017KE2359"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLH","id":"THES49654"},"free":"","case":"PD","shelf":"61","box":"A"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawing","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1636-1637","earliest":"1636-01-01","latest":"1637-12-31"},"association":{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"348","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"230","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"<b>Provenance:</b>\nBequeathed by Miss Emily Frances Dalton, 1900.
