The Actress Ellen Andrée

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-body sketch of a person facing slightly to the side, looking to the left. The facial features are not detailed, as the face is turned away. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long skirt with patterns, and a dark coat. One hand appears to be in a pocket, while the other is unclear. The background is plain with a lightly textured surface.
