She features an elegant, elongated neck, large silver hoop earrings, and a distinctive pink-and-white striped hair wrapper holding back her high updo. Her expression is calm yet intense as she gazes directly at the viewer, holding a small note cards or letter in her hand. The work is painted in a mid-century modernist style, heavily influenced by Latin American modernists—such as Diego Rivera stylized portraits of women like Dolores del Río—and European surrealists like Leonor Fini. The texturing in the blue-green background utilizes expressive, vertically layered brushwork. The oil on board painting is housed in a rustic distressed style heavy 24lb wooden frame featuring remnants of gold leaf or silver gilt. Unsigned.
