About this work

This painting shows a woman in a fur-trimmed coat and headscarf. She stands against a wooden wall, her hands clasped in front of her. Her coat is dark with a patterned sleeve, and her scarf is light-colored. The woman looks straight ahead, her expression serious. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the scene. The woman's clothing is detailed, with intricate patterns on her sleeve and scarf. The wooden wall behind her is plain, with visible knots and grain. This painting is part of the collection at the Denver Art Museum.
