Guyasdoms D'Sonoqua is a 1930 oil by Emily Carr, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting shows a large figure with a mask-like face, standing in front of a landscape. The figure has a brown body and green leaves around its waist. It has its right arm outstretched and its left arm bent up to its face. In the background, there are trees, a house, and a body of water. The colors are mostly greens and browns, with some yellow and blue. The figure's mask-like face is very detailed, with many lines and shapes. The leaves around its waist are long and flowing. The background is painted in a more abstract way, with big brushstrokes and not as much detail. If you want to learn more about this style of painting, look up the artist Emily Carr.
