Summary

A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing by Ludovico Carracci. The drawing shows the torso of a woman reaching up and to the left to catch or hold a large orb. She has wavy hair, which appears to be tied back. Her left arm reaches across and obscures most of her face so only her nose, mouth and chin are visible.
