Artist, French, 1854 - 1894

The image shows a woman lying on a bed or sofa with her body diagonally across the composition. She is on her side, with her head resting on her right arm and her left arm draped over her body. Her facial features are delicately rendered, showing a slight smile. Her eyes are either closed or nearly closed. Her dark hair frames her face loosely, and she is wearing a long dress with gentle folds. There is a darker collar or scarf around her neck. The background is minimal, with soft sketch-like lines indicating a textured surface.
