Tête de femme (Head of a Woman)

Henri-Charles Guérard

National Gallery of Art

The image captures the upper portion of a person's body, focusing on the head and shoulders. The person is in a side profile, with facial features including eyes, nose, and slightly pursed lips. The hair is short and wavy, partially covered by a dark hat with a decorative element. The person wears dark clothing, likely a coat or cloak. No visible jewelry is worn. The background is a solid black rectangle with a plain, peach-colored paper surrounding it.
