The Dreamer (La Rêveuse)

A seated woman in a flowing red-orange gown with fur-trimmed wrap and white turban leans against a tree trunk, holding a folded fan and gloves. She gazes outward beneath leafy foliage against a pale blue sky with soft clouds, in a painterly, dreamy style.

Español: La soñadora (La Rêveuse) de Watteau

Una mujer sentada, con un vestido fluido de tono rojo anaranjado, chal con ribete de piel y turbante blanco, se recarga contra un tronco. Sostiene un abanico plegado y guantes, con la mirada dirigida al espectador bajo un follaje frondoso y un cielo azul pálido.
