The female figure is depicted in a classic pose with her scarf blowing in the wind, geese at her feet, clutching a red umbrella, and isolated against a neutral background. Signed lower right. Providence: The Illustrated Gallery Condition is fair, with significant toning to the paper mounted to a board. surface creases, scapes, and nicks. Mostly evident as the viewer gets closer to the work. Framed, the work displays quite well.
