Untitled (La femme à la toque écossaise) is a 1895 ink by Félicien Rops, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a woman reclining on a couch, wearing a Scottish-style hat and a dress with a floral pattern. The background is a mix of dark and light colors, with some visible textures. The woman's face is tilted upwards, and her eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of relaxation and contemplation. The use of dark and light colors in the background creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The visible textures in the background add a tactile quality to the painting. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Félicien Rops, who was known for his etchings and aquatints.
Félicien Victor Joseph Rops (French: ; 7 July 1833 – 23 August 1898) was a Belgian artist associated with Symbolism, Decadence, and the Parisian fin de siècle, and was a member of the Les XX group.
