Artist, French, 1863 - 1924

The image depicts a group of women outdoors. The women are shown from the waist up, standing side-by-side. They are facing the viewer, with their heads slightly turned towards each other. Their facial features are delicately sketched, giving them a composed expression. They all have head coverings and are dressed in traditional attire, including long dresses and shawls. One woman has a hand-stitched pattern on her shawl. There are small decorative elements on their clothing. The background includes outlines of buildings and a fence, contributing to the rustic atmosphere of the sketch.
