(Study of a Woman in Hat Sitting Against Wall)
1899–1906

A monochromatic watercolor painting depicting a seated woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long dark skirt. She is resting her elbow on a table and appears contemplative. The background is lightly sketched, with minimal detail, focusing the viewer's attention on the figure. The paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
