Edmond Pigalle

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a half-length profile of a seated person. The individual is turned slightly to their right, with their chin resting on their right hand. Their facial features are delicately sketched, showing a prominent nose and closed lips. They wear a dark hat and a loose-fitting, long-sleeved garment with folds and shading. There is a decorative clasp or fur detail on the sleeve. The background is plain with some text at the top left, likely an artist's signature or date. The artwork is rendered in a monochrome palette.
