Study of a Woman

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated in profile on a chair. She is leaning forward with her elbows on her thighs and hands clasped together. Her head is slightly bowed and turned to the side, showing her facial profile. The woman has subtle facial features and her hair is in a bun. She wears a long dark dress and a checkered apron tied around her waist. Her green shoes or socks are visible beneath her dress. The background is plain and sketchy lines suggest furniture she is seated on.
