From Musée d'Orsay, Paris:
The Black Bow belongs to a series of female silhouettes against a pale or greyish background, dated about 1882. This figure, obviously the most accomplished of the set, is an early version of the elegant ladies strolling on the riverbank in Sunday at the Grand Jatte (1884-1886, Art Institute of Chicago).
