Artist, French, 1865 - 1953

The image shows a side profile portrait of a person from the shoulders up. The individual is positioned facing the right side of the frame with their head slightly turned. The person's facial features are soft and delicate, with a gentle jawline, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. Their hair is dark and styled up in a bun, with curls visible around the temples. They are wearing a high-collared, dark garment that closely fits around the neck and shoulders. The background is a dark, solid color.
