Lola de Valence is a 1862 ink by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white etching of a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She wears a long, fancy skirt with layers of fabric and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is covered by a lace veil, and she holds a fan in one hand. The artist used shading to show light hitting her dress and face. The background is plain, so all focus stays on her.
