En Hollande (La petite liseuse)

Félicien Rops

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch on a large sheet of paper depicting the upper half of a seated woman. The woman is facing left, engaged in reading. She has her hair styled up and delicate facial features. She is dressed in a garment with a high neckline and an embellishment near the collar. In her hands, she holds a piece of paper. The background suggests an interior setting with a window behind her showing trees outside. The focus is on the woman and her activity with minimal background details.
