Study of Two Women, One Seated and One Holding a Basket

Léon Augustin Lhermitte

National Gallery of Art

The image displays two sketches of the same woman in different poses on a light grey background. The first sketch shows the woman standing with a hoe tool in one hand and the other arm around a woven basket. Her hair is tied back under a headscarf, revealing her facial features in profile. The second sketch shows her seated with her hand touching her cheek thoughtfully. She wears a long skirt and a fitted top in both sketches.
