Getting Up (Le lever)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two bodies. The figure on the left side is sitting and leaning slightly forward, with long hair falling down their back. The person on the right stands facing the viewer, wearing a loosely hanging garment. Their facial features are discernible but faint, against a dark, crosshatched background.
