Description

This is a three-quarter view of a figure placed in the center of the composition, facing forward. The figure is determined by gestural black contour lines, but the face is not clearly defined. Concentrated brushwork at the top tapers off to legs hinted at by black gestural lines. The figure melts into greens, reds and blues of the background. The figure is bald and shown to just above the knees.
