Hippolyte Lalaisse

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a person in profile, body slightly turned towards the viewer. The upper three-quarters of the body is depicted, with one arm raised slightly. The person's face is obscured by a hood, and the head is covered by fabric of a large cloak or robe. The person wears layered, draped clothing with intricate details. The drawing is against a blue-toned background, with no visible jewelry or objects held by the person.
