Head of a Woman Looking Down

Gilles-Antoine Demarteau after François-André Vincent

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an upper body portrait of a person. The individual is in a three-quarter profile, with their head tilted down and slightly to the side. They have delicate facial features, closed eyes, and slightly parted lips. Their hair is long, wavy, and dark, held back by a headband. The person wears a light-colored garment with a dark, draped cloth around their shoulders. The background is softly shaded in neutral tones, with a teal-colored border framing the person's head.
