Hughes Taraval

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a profile portrait of a female figure's head and upper torso, facing right. The woman has a slender face with a rounded jawline and nose. Her hair is light-colored, pulled back into a low ponytail with loose strands framing her face. The subject wears a V-necked top. The background is mottled gray and brown. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. The portrait is rendered in shades of gray and brown with some hints of color. The overall effect is one of elegance and simplicity. The image appears to be a drawing or painting created with traditional media.
