Artist, American, 1891 - 1967

The image depicts a woman's upper body portrait with her face facing the viewer. She has wide eyes and full lips, and her hair is covered by a flowing veil secured with a headband. She is dressed in a garment covering her chest and shoulders, wearing an earring. In the background, there is a cobblestone path leading to a high stone wall. Flames illuminate the scene, casting shadows against the wall. The sky is filled with swirling clouds.
