This image shows a portrait of a woman sitting in a chair. She has short hair and is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline and a shawl or blanket over her lap. The chair has an ornate backrest with a pattern of lines and shapes. The woman's hands are resting on her lap, with her right hand holding a small object. The portrait is drawn in sanguine, a reddish-brown color, on a light-colored background. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the woman's calm expression and the intricate details of the chair creating a sense of serenity. To learn more about the artist's use of sanguine and other techniques, explore the work of Jean Dubuffet.
