Deuils (Mourning Clothes)

Emile Coulon and Félicien Champsaur

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in profile, facing to the right. She is upright, with one hand on a table and the other hanging by her side. The woman has delicate facial features, a slightly upturned nose, and full lips, with voluminous hair styled in waves. She wears a long, dark dress. There is a faint outline of a small cup or glass on the table. The background has a textured window with geometric patterns that let light filter through. The area on the left side of the image includes poetic text.
