Soeur Jeanne

Charles Emmanuel Patas after Charles Monnet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows five women who are nuns. Four of them are sitting and interacting with each other, while one is standing to the right holding a piece of paper. They have serene expressions while wearing traditional wimples and veils, along with flowing gowns. The room they are in is richly decorated with curtains, a chair, an open book on a table, and a small harp. There is also a basket with fabric or yarn on the floor. The background features wood-paneled walls with a relief or frieze depicting clouds and cherubs.
