Peppina

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partial view of a person's upper body, primarily focusing on the face and shoulders. The person is in a three-quarter position, turning slightly to one side. The facial features are drawn with prominently drawn eyes and a delicate smile. The person has textured, voluminous hair that frames the face. The clothing depicted is simple with horizontal lines suggesting fabric folds around the shoulders. There are no visible items of jewelry or objects being held. The background is a subtle, blurred texture with cross-hatching.
