Woman with Parasol

Enoch Wood Perry, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing and holding an umbrella. The figure is turned slightly to the side, with the right hand on the hip and the left hand holding the umbrella over the shoulder. The facial features are outlined with shading, and the hair is styled neatly under a hat. The person is wearing a long gown cinched at the waist, with details on the bodice and sleeves. The white umbrella contrasts against the pencil sketch. The background has faint outlines that may represent trees or foliage, creating an outdoor setting in the sketch.
