Adolphe Léon Willette

The image shows a woman standing in a doorway with her arms outstretched. She is wearing a light, translucent gown with lace trimming. Behind her is a dark interior while to her right, a man in a cap and buttoned shirt is looking towards her. Sketches of windows or doors are in the background, creating depth in the room.
