Description: | This study of a seated woman in profile is sketchily painted. Her apron suggests that she is a working woman, perhaps a cook or servant - indeed, cooks were the subject of the first works which Théodule Ribot had accepted for the Paris Salon. Although the face is highlighted in a way which contrasts with the otherwise murky palette, her features are imprecisely recorded. Indeed, there are no indications as to the woman's personal identity or character and it seems clear that this was not intended as a portrait of a particular individual. | Subjects: | figure (woman) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ribot, Augustin Théodule (French painter and printmaker, 1823-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8894... | Go to resource |
