Woman with a Mirror, from the Villa Borghese

David employed a combination of brown ink for outlines, gray wash for shading, and graphite for initial sketches. The careful rendering of the robe's folds showcases his attention to detail and mastery of capturing texture through mixed media.

Originally from the Villa Borghese, the drawing is now part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington, D.C., as part of a broader assembly of David's works.

Created during the Neoclassical period, the piece reflects David's early adherence to classical themes and techniques, though the subject's everyday, personal moment offers a nuanced take on traditional classical motifs.

As part of David's oeuvre, the drawing contributes to the understanding of his development and the broader Neoclassical movement, though its specific impact or influence on later artists is not distinctly highlighted in available records.
