Lady playing the harp

Description

Lady playing the harp, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University
Lady playing the harp, Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University

A woman in historical costume, facing left, possibly strumming a harp that is revealed as a pale blue cover is pulled back. A deep red curtain is behind her at left, and an archway at right, and there are grey and white tiles on the floor. The drawing is unfinished: what might be a greyhound is in the lower left corner.
