Bust portrait of a young girl with a bird attributed to Robert Levrac-Tournières

Bust portrait of a young girl with a bird dressed in a gray silk dress decorated with small arabesques in silver thread. The end of the sleeves is highlighted by a delicate lace. The girl also has a large drape in gold velvet. The very light skin tone with rosy cheekbones contrasts with the brown eyes. A red parakeet is placed on her right hand. The figure is painted on a dark background without decoration, contrasting strongly with the color of the skin. The light coming from the right side of the figure plunges the left side into shadow.
