Artist, French, 1864 - 1901

The image shows a sketch of a woman from the waist up in profile view. She has her head tilted slightly upwards. Her facial features are subtly depicted with light strokes, and she has wavy hair. The woman's attire is simple and elegant. The sketch is set in an interior environment with minimalistic details. Additionally, a shadowy figure can be seen in the background, and there is a structural presence suggesting a window or partition. The strokes are gentle, creating a soft and fluid quality, with a monochromatic palette on a plain or lightly textured surface.
