Florence Sittenham Davey (Mrs. Randall Davey)

Amerikanische Malerei 1913–1931, 1914

This painting is a portrait of a seated woman shown from the knees upwards. She is seated in a woven yellow armchair, with her right arm resting on one arm of the chair, while her left hand rests on her lap. The chair is slightly turned to the left, but she looks directly at us. She has pale skin with slightly pink cheeks, round blue-green eyes, thin brown eyebrows, and pink lips set in a neutral expression. Her hair is dark brown and styled in soft waves, visible beneath a wide-brimmed cream hat adorned with a striped green-and-white band. The woman wears a white dress with a green belt or sash around the waist and a pearl necklace. A green cloth appears to be draped on the chair beneath her, and the background is a deep blend of green, dark blue, and black shades, similar to a heavy draped curtain. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible.
