The painting, La modiste, depicts a woman in a hat and dark dress, possibly a milliner, with her hand on her chin. To her right is a bust of a woman wearing a headscarf. The background is a light color. In the upper-right corner, the artist's signature, "N. Goeneutte," is visible. The painting is done in black etching on laid paper, giving it a detailed and textured look. This painting is part of the Impressionism and Realism movements, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
