Untitled (La femme à la toque écossaise)

Félicien Rops

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated on a patterned chair. Her head is slightly tilted, with her gaze directed towards the viewer. She has dark hair styled neatly with a band or headdress, accented with a plume or decoration. She is wearing an elegant dress with dark bodice and lighter sleeves adorned with lace or intricate designs. A ribbon or narrow scarf is tied around her neck, leading to a small object or ornament hanging beneath her chin. The background consists of a richly decorated tapestry or wallpaper with an elaborate, swirling design. The image is framed within a simple outline.
