Portrait of a Woman with a Broom

G. C. Urlin

National Gallery of Art

The image features a woman standing upright, facing slightly to the side with her head turned towards the camera. She has a serious expression and is wearing a headpiece with a ruffled edge that covers her hair. She is dressed in a dark long-sleeved blouse with lace detailing, a high neck, and a fitted waist, paired with a long checkered skirt and an apron. The woman is holding a large broom with both hands. Next to her is a carved chair with patterned fabric. The background shows an ornate patterned wall or backdrop with a floral design, and the floor is covered with a textured rug.
