Jean in a Black Hat

George Wesley Bellows

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a monochrome sketch of a young girl sitting. She faces slightly to the left with her hands resting in her lap. She wears a large dark hat with a band, and her long hair is visible under the hat. She has delicate facial features, a neutral expression, and forward gaze. The girl wears a light gown with detailed neckline and a dark, voluminous cape with textured material. There is an ornate chair back behind her on the left. The background is plain, highlighting the girl as the focal point of the image.
