Young Woman with Her Head Covered

Gilles Demarteau, the Elder after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a person's body. The person is in a three-quarter view, with their head slightly tilted downward and eyes looking down. Their facial features are soft and gentle with a serene expression. The person has flowing hair framed around their face, covered by a large, draped cloth that envelops the upper body. They hold a portion of the cloth with one hand. The background is a softly textured, neutral space.
