Hesitation (Madame Monteaux?)

A woman in a long blue silk gown stands in a green-walled room before a dark wooden door, looking down at a small object in her hand. A framed painting hangs on the wall, and a red chair and small table sit nearby beside a spilled scatter of papers on the floor.

Español: Vacilación (¿Madame Monteaux?) de Alfred Stevens

Una mujer con un largo vestido de seda azul permanece en una habitación de paredes verdes frente a una puerta de madera oscura, mirando hacia abajo un pequeño objeto en su mano. Un cuadro enmarcado cuelga en la pared, y una silla roja y una mesita están cerca de papeles dispersos en el suelo.

Uma mulher com um longo vestido de seda azul está em um cômodo de paredes verdes diante de uma porta de madeira escura, olhando para baixo um pequeno objeto em sua mão. Um quadro emoldurado pende da parede, e uma cadeira vermelha e uma mesinha ficam próximas a papéis espalhados no chão.
