Description

Head and torso of a woman in a yellow roll neck sweater, with shoulder length hair against a blue background.

Commentary

Overall style suggests this painting was executed during the 1970s. The single colour clothing and head and torso pose, suggest this is a painting from life, perhaps in series with cat 17, 18 and 19. The handling of the brush work in all feels consistent.
