Amerikanische Malerei 1913–1931, 1928

This painting depicts a woman from the waist up, seated sideways on a wooden chair. She is turned to the right, with her hands on the back of the chair, and looks over her shoulder towards us. She has pale skin and short reddish-brown hair visible beneath a green cap. Her red lips are slightly turned up at the edges, and her eyes are dark. She is wearing a brightly colored top with abstract shapes in orange, yellow, gray, and green against a cream background, and a green skirt that is the same shade as her hat. A bracelet adorns her wrist with vertical stripes of white, dark blue, and dark red. The chair she sits on is light yellow wood, and the background is made of vertical lines of white, cream, and gray, with hints of pastel pink, minty green, and pale blue. The brushstrokes in the painting are visible.
