The Balcony over the Sea

Jean-Émile Laboureur

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a woman standing on a balcony. The woman has dark hair pulled back and wears a long-sleeved dress with a plaid pattern on the sleeves and back. The dress is long and has a gathered skirt. She stands with her back to the viewer, looking out at a body of water with sailboats. The balcony has an ornate metal railing with curved lines and leaves. The balcony is framed by an open window with a curtain on either side, and a large window above. The curtains are drawn back and have folds and creases. The balcony appears to be on the second floor or higher, with a view of the water and sailboats below. The drawing has a rectangular shape and a light-colored background. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-right corner of the drawing.
