Artist, French, 1875 - 1963

The image shows a person sitting in a slight profile with their body turned toward the left. Their facial features are delicately rendered with subtle shading. They have short, light hair partially obscured by a large, soft hat. The person is wearing a light, flowing garment that appears to envelop them, cascading loosely around their shoulders and arms. They are seated on a rich red upholstered chair with dark wood framing. The setting around them features a softly textured, almost monochrome background with ornate, indistinct patterns or wallpaper.
