Profile of a Gypsy Woman is a 1902 oil by Isidre Nonell, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts the profile of a woman with long, dark hair, wearing an orange garment. The background is a muted greenish-yellow color. The woman's face is turned to the left, and her features are not clearly defined. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Isidre Nonell, who was known for his portraits of everyday people.
Isidre Nonell i Monturiol (30 November 1872 – 21 February 1911) was a Catalan artist from Spain known for his expressive portrayal of socially marginalized individuals in late 19th-century Barcelona.
