Woman Putting On Her Stockings 

"Woman Putting On Her Stockings" is a lithograph by French artist Jean-Louis Forain (1852-1931). The work depicts a woman, seated on a bed, putting on her stockings. The image is rendered in a stark and somewhat stylized manner, with bold lines and dark shading. Forain's work is known for its often satirical and cynical portrayal of contemporary life, and this piece reflects this. The artist's signature can be seen in the lower right corner, while a handwritten inscription in the lower left corner reads "Paris-1897." The work is likely a social commentary on the conventions of women's fashion in the late 19th century.
