caption: The image shows a woman sitting in a chair, drawn in charcoal by Edgar Degas. She is wearing a white dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back in a bun and she has a gentle expression on her face. Her hands are resting on her lap and her gaze is directed away from the viewer. The charcoal drawing gives the woman a soft, muted look, and the text at the bottom of the image adds to the overall composition.
