Portrait of a Woman

William E. Relf

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright with a rifle. She is positioned slightly left of the image, with her body facing forward and her head turned right. She has short, curly hair, a focused expression, and is wearing a dark full-length dress with a high collar, long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, gloves, and a pouch or basket with birds. A dog is lying on the ground to her right. The backdrop features a tranquil landscape with trees, water, and hills in the distance.
