The Lost Felice is a 1939 oil by Marsden Hartley, a American Impressionism work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man in a white apron, holding a fish in a bowl. He is surrounded by two figures in black, their faces painted red. The man's apron is white, and he has a serious expression. The fish in the bowl is pink, and the background of the painting is dark. The man's white apron stands out against the dark background, and the red faces of the surrounding figures add a pop of color to the painting. The overall mood of the painting is somber, with the man's serious expression and the dark background contributing to this atmosphere.
