Soeur Jeanne

Charles Emmanuel Patas after Charles Monnet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an interior space with five women, possibly nuns. Four women are seated around a table, while the fifth woman stands slightly turned away. Their body language and facial expressions suggest various reactions. They wear traditional habit attire. One woman has an open book on the table, and there is a piece of cloth draped across it. A cat sits on a cushioned chair. The background features a wooden interior with a detailed doorframe and a painting in another room. Luxurious drapery, a basket with items, and an intricate panel on the ceiling complete the setting.
