Associated Names

Artist, French, 1841 - 1919

The image shows an illustration of two women, with a focus on the upper half of their bodies. The woman on the left is sitting and facing slightly towards the viewer, while the other woman is positioned with her back towards the viewer, seemingly adjusting the first woman's hat. The facial features of the woman on the left are portrayed with soft lines, with her eyes partially closed, and her hair neatly styled under the hat. The hat is adorned with detailed embellishments. Both women are dressed in flowing garments, depicted with textured and dynamic lines. The background is minimally detailed with light sketching, and the artwork is presented in sepia tones.
