Woman with a Vase (La femme au vase)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young person from the waist up, positioned in a kneeling pose. The person is facing slightly to the right while turning their head to look towards the viewer. They have long, straight hair that falls around their shoulders and are wearing a light-toned shirt with long sleeves. In their hands, they hold a piece of cloth or fabric. Nearby on the ground, there is a reflective bowl or basin. The background is textured and dark, possibly featuring a subtle pattern or etched design.
