About this work
Shown in strict profile against a cracked grey plaster wall, a dark-skinned woman with a tall cylindrical hairstyle wears a stack of red coiled neck rings, a nose ring, and a drop earring. She holds two long black cigarette holders in one hand, her other hand on her hip; she wears a yellow tank top and a skirt patterned in purple, olive, and cream geometric blocks. Above her hangs a cream sign reading 'NO SMOKING' in serif capitals.
Flat, poster-like color fields, yellow, red, and patterned fabric, sit against textured, weathered stone, with crisp graphic outlines on the figure. The deadpan pairing of smoking paraphernalia with the prohibition sign gives the image a dry, ironic humor.
