Artist, French, 1855 - after 1938

The image shows the upper body of a woman seated in a profile position. She has distinctive green eyes and reddish hair mostly covered by a large green and blue bow hat matching her coat. The coat is high-necked with black furry lining on the collar and sleeves. A dark furry muff rests in her lap, and the background features a sketchy outline of human figures and yellow shapes resembling lights or decorations. A glass on a table in the foreground adds to the softly lit interior scene.
