Young Woman in a Kerchief and Cloak at Hastings

Joshua Cristall

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in profile, facing right. She is hunched forward with her hands clasped under her cloak. Her facial expression is contemplative. Her hair is light brown and wavy, partially covered by a blue hood or scarf. She wears a large brown cloak, a long checkered dress, a blue headscarf, and dark shoes. The background is plain with a light, textured surface, indicating an indoor setting.
