Doris Ulmann

Artist, American, 1882 - 1934

The image shows a woman seated with her body slightly turned, hands resting on a partly woven basket. She has high cheekbones, dark hair pulled back, and a focused expression. She wears a patterned, long-sleeved blouse and a long skirt made of light fabric. The background is blurred, possibly a wooden surface, suggesting an outdoor setting. No jewelry is visible, but the basket's weaving material stands out. The scene conveys a moment of quiet concentration in a rustic environment.
