caption: The image shows a black and white painting of a woman sitting on a chair, created by Edgar Degas in 1887-1958. The woman is depicted in a seated position, with her hands resting on her lap and her head slightly tilted to the side. Her facial features are delicate and her hair is pulled back in a bun. She is wearing a dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders and her eyes are closed, giving her a peaceful and serene expression. The background is a muted grey, with a few wispy clouds in the sky. The painting is framed in a simple black frame, adding to the timelessness of the image.
