About this work

The painting is a portrait of a woman with curly brown hair and bangs. She wears a white dress and a headband, and her face is turned slightly to the right. The background is light blue. The woman's expression is neutral, and her eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and her dress appears to be made of a lightweight material. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of William Lovett.
