Seated Peasant Woman

Léon Augustin Lhermitte

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a charcoal drawing of a seated woman. The woman has short, curly hair and wears a dress with short sleeves and a low neckline. The dress appears to have a gathered neckline and a sash around the waist. Her right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on her lap. Her left arm is also bent at the elbow with the hand resting on her knee. The woman's body is turned slightly to the left. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The artist's signature, "L. Lhermitte," is written in the bottom-left corner. The drawing has a rough, textured edge around the perimeter.
