Artist, French, 1864 - 1901

The image is a sketch showing the upper body of a person in profile from the side. The person is positioned facing to the right with their head turned slightly away from the viewer. The sketch outlines subtle facial features, including a defined nose and lip line and an almond-shaped eye. Their hair appears to be pinned up or tied back simply. The person's clothing is loosely sketched, indicating flowing fabric with gentle lines suggesting the garment's drape. There is no clear depiction of jewelry, and they are not holding any objects. The background is plain, with a small circular shape in the upper left corner of the image, leaving the focus on the figure itself.
