untitled (Woman descending onto a street of umbrellas)

Paul Edouard Crébassa

National Gallery of Art

The full-body sketch depicts a person standing on a paved walkway. The person is leaning slightly back and has short hair. They wear a loose garment resembling a dress and stand in a casual pose. The person's facial features are outlined with a lively expression, and they seem to be holding an umbrella or a walking stick. Large umbrella-like shapes are around them, potentially representing open umbrellas on the ground. In the background, a wall or building can be seen, along with a sign reading "ODÉON". The image is drawn in a loose, gestural style with minimalistic line work on a plain background.
