Etude pour un portrait

Maurice Delcourt

National Gallery of Art

The image is a simple line drawing of a woman captured from head to toe in a standing position with her body slightly turned to the side. She has her left arm extended forward and is wearing a large, wide-brimmed hat that covers much of her head. She is dressed in a long, flowing coat or dress with wide sleeves that has a loose, draped appearance. The background is plain with no distinct elements, focusing attention on the woman. She is not wearing any visible jewelry or holding any objects.
