Maude Valle

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright, facing forward. The individual wears a black robe, a dark-blue undergarment, and a red cape. They have a stern expression, short, light-colored hair under a brimmed hat matching the robe. The person holds a cross in their right hand. The background includes religious or symbolic elements such as an angel-like figure and celestial motifs against a golden-brown backdrop. The entire scene is framed in an arched shape with a rounded top.
