Woman with a Muff

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white portrait of a woman titled "Woman with a Muff" by an unknown artist. The woman has dark hair parted in the middle and pulled back on either side of her head. Her hair appears to have been curled. The woman wears a dark-colored dress with a high neck and a fur muff covering her hands. The woman looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background of the painting is dark and shaded. The portrait appears to be old and worn, with visible scratches and marks on the surface.
