Description:
This painting is a portrait of a person from the chest up. The person is highly abstracted and the paint has been applied geometrically, in planes. These planes come together to create a face made up of browns, blues, yellows, greens and reds. The shoulders and chest of the sitter are mainly done in a flat yellow with red and blue accents around the shoulders. The background is yellow with purple diamonds on the left side of the figure and blue markings on the right.
