Le solitaire

B.-A. Neuburger

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a seated woman shown from the waist up. She is positioned slightly turned to the left, with her head tilted downwards, concentrating on an object she is holding in her hands. Her facial features are depicted, and her hair is styled in an updo. The woman is dressed in a gown with long sleeves adorned with details. In her hands, she is holding a small item. The background is shaded with patterns and textures, suggesting an interior space with a floral arrangement in a vase visible above her on the right. The artwork is monochromatic, focusing on light and shadow to highlight the woman's demeanor.
