Pompilia is a 1919 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman with her hand to her face, looking down. She has long hair and is wearing a spotted scarf. The background is light, with darker shading around the woman. The woman's expression is contemplative, and her hand is raised to her cheek. The image is rendered in muted tones, with the woman's features and clothing depicted in detail. This etching by Albert Besnard is a striking example of his work, and invites further exploration of his artistic style and technique.
