The Convalescent (La convalescente)

Édouard Manet, 1876/1878

The image features a seated woman from the waist up. She is turned slightly to the side, with her head tilted. She has distinct facial features with a calm expression and her hair is mostly hidden under a bonnet tied under her chin. She is wearing a cloak or loose-fitting garment that drapes around her shoulders. Her hand is gently resting in front of her. The background consists of sketched horizontal and vertical lines creating a textured look around her.
