three-quarter right profile of a young woman set at an open window frame. Ivy
adorns the left side and a red velvet curtain the right. She has pearls woven
into her hair and some curls trail down her neck. She is wearing a white dress
or blouse and holds a small mixed bouquet in her left hand, which crosses
under her right. The overall effect is a romantic Elizabethan image. |
| History: | Restored
by Sandor Bodo in the early 1980s, who referred to this as a "New Orleans
style painting," which may lead to more information about the artist. |
