Artist, French, 1798 - 1863

The image shows a person reclining on cushions, dressed in traditional attire. The individual is resting on their side with their head supported by their elbow, while their other arm lies across their body. They have dark, wavy hair and a focused expression. The person is wearing a patterned blouse with loose sleeves and flowing bottom wear. There is a textured rug or mat underneath them, surrounded by intricately designed cushions. In the background, there is a textured wall with patterned curtains, and a decorative piece with floral or ornate motifs is partly visible. The setting appears to be a cozy indoor space, possibly a living area. A signature can be seen in the upper-right corner of the image.
