La Flore de le Gros

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman from the waist up, facing slightly to her left. She has a calm expression and looks downward. She has delicate features and styled hair, possibly with a headpiece or flowers. She wears a flowing garment with additional fabric and foliage around her. In her right hand, she holds a floral object with leaves. The background features intricate etchings of foliage or a garden setting, contrasting with the woman's smooth figure.
