Artist, French, second half 19th century

The image displays two figures with their full bodies visible, standing closely together. The figure on the left is slightly turned with their back partially to the viewer, resting their head on the other figure's shoulder. The figure on the right is facing slightly forward and appears to be gesturing with an arm extended toward the upper right corner. Both figures have short to medium-length hair and are nude. There is vegetation to the right and below them, as well as a goat near their feet. The background is lightly rendered, suggesting foliage in the surroundings.

The image shows a woman seated on a patterned chair. Her head is slightly tilted, with her gaze directed towards the viewer. She has dark hair styled neatly with a band or headdress, accented with a plume or decoration. She is wearing an elegant dress with dark bodice and lighter sleeves adorned with lace or intricate designs. A ribbon or narrow scarf is tied around her neck, leading to a small object or ornament hanging beneath her chin. The background consists of a richly decorated tapestry or wallpaper with an elaborate, swirling design. The image is framed within a simple outline. — Untitled (La femme à la toque écossaise)

Félicien Rops

1895

This is a photograph of the cover of an art album. The cover displays the title "l'Epreuve" and the subtitle "Album d'Art" in the upper right corner. The cover is a plain, beige color. The text is clean and understated. There are no additional visual elements or images on the cover. The texture and wear along the spine suggest that it is a physical object with some age. — L'Épreuve (album 11-12, deluxe edition)

Maurice Dumont

1895

The image shows a woman's upper body, seated and leaning slightly forward, with her face partly hidden. She has dark hair styled in an updo and is wearing a dark garment. Beside her is a mannequin head with a hat. In the background are vertical objects resembling spools of thread. — La modiste
