not titled [Woman in oriental dress] Accession Number: ART94174.021

Description

The image is of a young woman in flowing oriental robes. The woman has dark hair, arranged in gentle rolls. She wears a blue diadem above her forehead. Her eyes are downcast. She is dressed in layers of robes; the top robe is pale blue with darker blue bands, and decorated with gold medallions. The under-robe is cobalt blue. The exceptionally-wide sleeves of the garments conceal the woman's arms and hands. The artist has depicted the woman in an oval with a dark blue outline, against the unpainted surface of the paper. It is likely that the woman has been painted at a ceremonial event, or performing at the theatre.
