Description

A young woman in a green shirt with blond hair against a brown background.

Commentary

Alec Fleming’s use of short horizontal hog’s hair brush stokes to capture skin tones, especially across bridge of the nose and neck is typical. He has also in keeping with his stylistic preference adopted a single colour for the clothing of the study and a contrasting colour for the background wall.
