Artist, French, 1854 - 1894

The image shows a sketch of a person in a standing position. The body is suggested rather than detailed. The facial features are not distinct, and the face seems shaded. The hair is styled up under a dark hat. The person wears a high-collared garment with a broad dark section across the shoulders, and a decorative element near the chest, resembling a flower or ribbon. The background is plain with light sketching lines indicating large areas of negative space, enhancing the sketch-like quality of the image.
