caption: The image shows a painting of a woman in a black dress, painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1825-1905. She is sitting in a chair, her hands resting on her lap and her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her hair is pulled back in a bun and she has a gentle expression on her face. Her dress is a deep black color with a high neckline and long sleeves, and her hands are clasped in front of her. The background is a light blue, and the painting is framed in a simple black frame.
