Exercise 141. Conversation About A Picture

The girl in this picture is a French peasant girl. Her name is Joan of Arc. Look at her carefully and see how good a word picture of her you can give.

Where is she? What is she doing? What makes you know? Can you tell what she is listening to? Do you see any one else in the picture? Describe him. Do you think Joan sees him? What must he be? What can an angel in shining armor have to say to Joan?

If you cannot find out about the life of Joan of Are yourself, your teacher will tell you her story. You will then be able to think of an appropriate name for the picture. Perhaps you can find another picture of Joan in which she is dressed in armor.

Joan of Arc. Basten-Lepage.
