Woman in a full-skirted dress with yellow hair
A woman in a full-skirted dress seen in profile, head turned away, her hair a blaze of yellow, against a ground split between magenta and deep blue.
Upright, the figure placed centrally and cropped at the hem, with the ground divided vertically behind her — hot on the left, cold on the right — so she stands exactly on the join.
Magenta and ultramarine in the ground, with the bodice black and the skirt mottled grey, white and green. The hair is a single mass of cadmium yellow and the only warm note on the figure.
Flat unmodulated colour with no granulation and no brush texture — the ground is laid in broad even passes and the skirt is stippled over a dark base. The drawing is carried in a fine black line over the top.
