The Feathered Turban (Le turban à aigrette)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a woman seated with her back partially turned. She leans on her left arm with her legs bent, one tucked beneath the other. Her head is turned slightly left, showing a faint profile. Her hair is in a bun, and she appears unclothed. The woman is surrounded by cushions or draped fabric, with a dark, textured background indoors.
