Young Woman Sitting near a Tree

Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated in profile from her upper body down, facing left. She has delicate facial features, an updo hairstyle, and wears a dark, long-sleeved dress with hands resting on her lap. Detailed foliage and floral patterns surround her in a natural setting. In the background are silhouettes of trees and a darker figure. Line work in the margins suggests an artistic touch.
