L'Heure (The Hour)

Emile Coulon

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person facing the viewer, holding a finger to their lips in a silence gesture. They have a detailed outfit, a headpiece, and are wearing a ring on their left hand. The person's facial features are delicately drawn with downcast eyes, framed by dark hair. A clock face design with Roman numerals and ornate clock hands is around the person. The background is a blank canvas.
