Cy-devant (Ex-Noble)

Félicien Rops

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person depicted from the shoulders up, with a slight tilt of the head. The person is wearing a hat and there is a hint of a coat or cloak visible around the shoulders. The facial features are outlined in a simplistic style, with more detail given to the shape of the face and shadows. The individual's hair is mostly obscured by the hat. The sketch is centrally positioned within a much larger, blank expanse of a textured, off-white background.
