Penitence

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals, a woman and a man, standing close to each other. The woman is facing the man with her hands clasped in front of her, slightly turned towards the right. She has a light complexion and wears a white headscarf, a long striped dress with a blue apron, and a patterned shawl. The man, facing the woman, wears a black hat, a long black robe, and holds a book. The background includes a stone wall, a wooden door, some trees, and a small group of buildings on a hillside.
