A Space of Their Own

Marie-Suzanne Giroust

Selected Works

A light-skinned woman with gray hair is seated at an easel and painting table, looking back over her shoulder at the viewer. On teh easel, there is a light sketch of a man in a turban or hat; on a second easel, a finished painating shows a completed picture with the same man, who has a broad nose, bald head, and hat perched on his head at an odd angle. The woman appears to be sharpening a pencil with a knife as she looks back.
