About this work

This painting depicts a woman dressed in a green coat and hat, with a matching purse in her right hand. The coat is knee-length, featuring two pockets on the front. The woman's face is blurred, and she is shown from the knees up. The woman's attire appears to be from the mid-20th century, given the style of the coat and hat. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of elegance and sophistication.
