Mlle. Victorine in the Costume of an Espada

Edouard Manet

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman stands facing slightly right. She wears a dark jacket with long sleeves, dark pants that are rolled up to her calves, and no shoes. A hat with a wide brim covers her hair. Her left hand holds a fabric draped over her forearm. Her right hand grips the hilt of a sword with the blade pointing left and up. Behind her, to the right, a man dressed similarly points and lunges right. Further back, people stand and a trapeze artist hangs. The background includes vertical wooden slats.
