Etude pour un portrait

Maurice Delcourt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seen from the back, displaying her full body. She is standing in a relaxed pose with one arm slightly extended to the side. Her face is not visible, and she has short hair mostly covered a large ornate hat with wide brims and decorative folds. The woman is wearing a long, flowing gown with puffed sleeves and a high collar, flowing elegantly down to her feet. Her hand is gesturing subtly, and the background is plain and unadorned with a light, neutral tone.
