Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image depicts an abstract representation of a woman seated with only her upper body visible. She is seated upright and slightly turned to the side, with a frontal view of her face. Her facial features are suggested with minimal detail, and she wears a hat with large white plumes. She appears to have her hair tucked under the hat and is dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved garment with ruffles on the shoulders. She is holding a piece of paper or envelope in one hand, resting on her lap. To the left is a faint figure of a man, mostly defined by a triangular shape with facial features of a mustache and goatee. The background includes a dark rectangle bordered by a colorful pattern of yellows, blues, and reds forming a decorative border around the central image.
