Head of a Young Woman Wearing a Hat

Gilles Demarteau the Elder after Antoine Watteau

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a woman's body in a portrait orientation. She is positioned slightly turned to her left, with her head tilted downwards. The woman has delicate facial features, with finely drawn eyebrows and lips. Her hair is styled up and adorned with a fabric bow, and she wears a hat with a wide brim. She is dressed in a garment that covers her shoulders and partially exposes her neckline. The background is a plain, textured surface, emphasizing the figure, and the image is bordered as part of the artwork.
