About this work
A girl in a black-bodiced, red ruffled dress stands on tiptoe on a small stool, hands clasped at her waist, looking out at the viewer. A striped grey cat sits at her feet, while behind her a golden violin, patterned textile squares, and small painted portraits of a singer with a microphone and a trumpet player fill the background.
Thick, slashing strokes of red, black, and pink build the dress into a sculptural mass of ruffles, contrasting with the smoother, delicately modeled face and arms. The mixed backdrop of instrument, fabric patterns, and musician portraits is handled more loosely and flatly, giving the canvas a layered, collaged rhythm that suits its musical theme.
