The Penitent, Bouguereau

Oil portrait titled "The Penitent", created in 1876 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
This painting is also well known by its French name, "La jeune fille fellah" (in English, Egyptian Peasant Girl).
The translation from French would be "The Young Peasant Girl", but there seems to be a translation error in the Arabic word "fellah" (فَلَّاح), which means "peasant" in masculine. The correct word would be "fellaha" (فَلَّاحَة), meaning "peasant" just for females.
The painting displays the face of a beautiful young woman with a black veil, adorned in gold with a necklace and bracelet, demonstrating the master from Paris's skill in the work on the veil. The background is smooth: purple fading to orange. The focus of the composition is on the character's face and hands. There is also another version of the same painting from the same year where the same girl appears barefoot and full-bodied.
It is currently on public display at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle, United Kingdom.
