Edith Bry

Artist, American, 1898 - 1991

The image shows a woman depicted from the knees up, sitting in a relaxed posture. Her body is leaning slightly forward, with her arms resting on her knees. Her face is turned towards her right, and her eyes are looking downward. She has high cheekbones and dark eyes, with her hair covered by a wide-brimmed hat. She wears a sleeveless top and a fur-like shawl over her shoulders. She is seated on a cushioned seat with draped fabric beside her, in front of a plain, softly shaded backdrop.
