The Manor Lady or the Omen (La chatelaine ou le tocsin)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright in the foreground. The person is facing slightly to the right with relaxed arms by their sides. They have delicate facial features, defined contours, and medium-length wavy or loosely curled hair. They are wearing a long, flowing dress with puffed sleeves. In the background, there are slender, tall trees and an animal resembling a wolf or dog near the person. A castle-like structure with pointed towers and a turreted roof is visible behind them, along with a crescent moon in the sky. Lines of trees or shrubs in the distance complete the scene.
