About this work
A dark-haired woman wearing a multicolored striped headscarf and layered beaded necklaces stands in a white wrap top, one hand raised thoughtfully to her chin. Behind her, flattened geometric shapes in warm reds and golds combine with a stylized horse-like outline, and a basket of fruit sits at the lower edge of the canvas.
The figure is painted with soft, realistic modeling of skin and fabric, set against a flatter, fractured background of overlapping planes and patterned motifs in warm ochre and red. The contrast between the naturalistic face and the decorative, semi-abstract surroundings gives the portrait a folkloric, dreamlike quality.
