The Infanta Marguerita (Infante Marguerite)

Edouard Manet after Diego Velázquez

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching of a young girl depicted from the waist up. She is slightly turned to her left with her right arm extended, resting on a surface. The girl has a round face with wide-open eyes and a slightly downturned mouth. Her hair is long, parted to the side, with a bow attached on her left side. She is wearing a dress with puffed sleeves and a bow at the front of her neckline. The background is dark with cross-hatched shading, and there is a window or picture frame to the left with linear and patterned elements inside it.
