Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

The image is a sketch of a person depicted from approximately the knees up. The person is standing, with their body slightly angled to the side. Their facial features are minimal but suggest an outline of a face with closed eyes and a small mouth. The hair is illustrated with loose strands creating a somewhat wispy effect, suggesting long, flowing hair. The individual appears to be draped in loose clothing or possibly a gown, with the fabric's texture portrayed through soft, sweeping lines. There are no visible indications of jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain, with subtle, uneven spots of color on the light paper, giving it a slightly textured appearance.
