The image shows a woman with a human face, painted by Edgar Degas, holding a hand fan. She has a gentle expression on her face, and her hair is pulled back in a neat bun. Her eyes are closed, and she is wearing a light-colored dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hands are delicately placed on the fan, which is held in her hands. The background is a soft, muted color, giving the painting a peaceful and calming atmosphere.
