untitled (Woman descending onto a street of umbrellas)

Paul Edouard Crébassa

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person in a three-quarter view. The person is leaning to the side, holding onto a railing or a bar. Their face is turned downward, with lightly sketched facial features. The hair is styled upwards, possibly in a loose updo with visible strands. They wear a flowing dress with billowing sleeves and stand with their feet on a surface resembling the edge of a stage or platform. Surrounding the person are loosely sketched objects, including a table with a cloth, an umbrella, and a backdrop suggesting a stage or indoor environment. A sign with the word "ODEON" is visible on the left side. The sketch is on a plain, light-colored background.
