Portrait of the Artist's Wife

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch depicting the upper body of a person. The person is facing slightly to the side, with their head turned towards the viewer. They have long, flowing hair and expressive facial features. The person appears to be wearing a head covering or hat. The drawing emphasizes the facial expression with minimal detail on clothing. The background is blank, with cross-hatched lines enhancing the contrast.
