Le solitaire

B.-A. Neuburger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman depicted from the waist up, sitting down and slightly leaning forward as she holds a small object in her hands. Her head is tilted downward. The woman has soft facial features, styled hair in an updo, and is wearing a long-sleeved gown with a high neckline. In the background, there are indistinct shapes that might represent furniture and a vase with flowers. The contrast between the woman's attire and the background creates a visual effect.
