Princess Marie d'Orléans in Her Studio

Ary Scheffer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman in a long dress sitting on a chair. She sits facing to the side in a three-quarter view, looking to the right. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a light blue dress with puffy sleeves and a white underskirt. Her hands are clasped together. A wooden table stands in front of her with an uncompleted sculpture on it. The sculpture on the table depicts a woman standing dressed in a long robe, with her head tilted down. A small sculpture of two figures on horseback sits on a shelf behind her. The background contains a dark wall with a red curtain on the left and a wooden chair.
