About this work
A girl with a rose-patterned hairnet stands facing forward in a pale gown scattered with black swallows, resting her hand on the shoulder of a second woman who stands with her back turned; that figure's gown is filled with an interlaced pattern of towers, roofs and scaffolding. At left, a framed panel shows a green hillside with a grazing horse and a rose border, like a window onto a separate rural view.
Warm earth tones and a gold ground surround the two figures, whose faces are painted with smooth, delicate realism while their garments turn into flat, decorative pattern. The contrast between the airy rural vignette and the dense architectural weave creates a quiet, enigmatic dialogue between countryside and city.
