L'ambulante au parapluie (Walker with an Umbrella)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman in a full-length side profile. She has distinct facial features with shadows accentuating her cheekbones, and her hair is styled under a hat adorned with a decorative plume or flower. She wears a long, patterned dress with long sleeves and holds an umbrella under her arm. The background features a heavily hatched and cross-hatched pattern, with a lamp post casting light in the upper left corner.
