Deuils (Mourning Clothes)

About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long, dark dress standing in front of a window. The window has four panes, and the woman is looking out of it. She has short, curly hair and is wearing a high-necked dress with long sleeves. The room is dimly lit, and the woman's face is not clearly visible. The overall mood of the painting is somber and melancholic. The painting is a lithograph, a technique that involves drawing on stone with grease or wax. It was created by Emile Coulon in 1895 and is part of the National Gallery of Art's collection. You might also be interested in the Impressionism movement.
