Carmelita Requena by Thomas Eakins: A woman with fair skin and brown hair, the hair pulled back and covered with a red bandana or headscarf with a folded section across the top of her head, the scarf tied in the back with a white feather tucked behind it. She wears a red shawl or poncho with blue trim around the edges and white fabric underneath. She faces to the right with her eyes looking down and to the right. The background is brown with lighter brown and green brushstrokes.
