Large oil on canvas depicting a young Breton woman sitting on a parapet, Breton school early 20th century. The composition features a young woman seated in the foreground, dressed in traditional Breton costume consisting of a white headdress, a blue bodice, and an orange or brick-red skirt. She is positioned on a sandy bank overlooking an estuary or a calm river. In the background, a rural village appears, made up of low houses with light roofs, scattered across green hills. The warm light illuminates the buildings on the left, while the landscape opens up to a vast expanse of water in shades of blue and grey. It should be noted that this painting must have been folded, as there are visible vertical restorations.
