Sketch Exercise (Part) This is the work exhibited by Jean Simon Xia Erdan in the salon of 1753. Exquisite materials, gorgeous luster of pigment layer, elegant tone of pure and harmonious middle color, slender light expression soaked in the dark, people full of heavy thoughts, quiet and thoughtful atmosphere in the room, etc. All these make this sketch full of Xia Erdan's charm. The theme of politeness is full of poetry and congratulations-the joy visible to the naked eye. In composition, the painter's face constitutes the center of the picture, and all the main points are concentrated on the diagonal. The white sculpture is "Black Chury" made by Pigal, which is the theme that Xia Erdan wants to express.
