Joan of Arc Hearing the Voices

Französische Grafik 1893–1895, 1895

The artwork depicts a young woman standing in a forest, surrounded by tall trees. She is shown from head to toe, looking upwards. Her hair is long and loose beneath a headscarf. She wears a long dress adorned with small floral patterns and a flowing cloak. In her right hand, she holds a slender staff or sword. At her feet lies a resting dog, while a small bird is perched nearby on the ground. The background is a dense forest, with a few deer visible among the trees. The overall color palette includes shades of gray and beige.
