Jules Chéret

The image shows a sketch of a seated woman in a three-quarters back view, sitting upright on a wooden chair. The woman has refined features with a hat adorned with feathers or floral elements and a veil. She wears a long gown with voluminous sleeves, typical of late 19th or early 20th-century fashion, and holds an umbrella or parasol in her right hand. The background is plain, emphasizing the woman's appearance and posture.
