The Little Girl (Le petite fille)

Édouard Manet, 1862

The image shows a sketch of two figures, a woman and an infant. Both are viewed from behind and slightly to the side, showing the upper three-quarters of their bodies. The woman is standing upright and appears to be holding the infant close to her chest. Her facial features are not visible, but her textured hair is loosely gathered at the back. She wears a cloak or shawl over her shoulders. The infant's head rests on the woman's shoulder, with light hair and minimal detail. The background is plain, emphasizing the figures. A signature, "Ed. Manet," is visible in the top left corner.
