About this work

This print shows a woman in profile, wearing a dark hat and coat. She holds a bouquet of flowers with one hand, her face turned slightly away. The background is mostly black with slashes of yellow and blue, giving a sense of movement. The artist used bold colors and rough lines to create a striking effect. The title says this is a portrait of a young bride, but the mood feels more mysterious than joyful. Want to see more prints like this? Look up lithography to learn how artists make images this way.
