This fascinating study was part of a collection of 188 costume drawings designed by the workshop of Daniel Rabel for the Court Ballets danced during the reign of Louis XIII (1610-1643). Described by Margaret M. McGowan as a “remarkable figure, unlike others in the collection” (cit.), this design appears to be made entirely of light grey puffs, gathered above the mask, around the neck, the wrists, and the top of the boots. The elongated figural type and the style of the drawing suggest a slightly later date of execution compared to the rest of the sheets.
