Artist, American, 1931 - 2014

This painting is a close-up view of a woman's head and shoulders. Her body faces the right, but her face is turned over her shoulder to look at us. She has pale skin, a thin nose, prominent purple eyes with long eyelashes, and glossy red lips that are parted to show straight white teeth. Her black hair is styled in voluminous, glossy curls. She does not wear any visible clothing. Just above her mouth, a bright red rose emerges from the right side of the image. The background is a solid blue.
