From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Portrait of Mrs. R. is a 1923 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a dark dress and a matching hat. Her right arm rests on the back of the chair, and she looks directly at the viewer. The woman's dark clothing contrasts with the lighter background, drawing attention to her face and hands. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the portrait. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to many notable works of art, including this portrait by George Bellows.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
