Artist, German, 1900 - 1942

The image depicts a woman's upper body. She is turned slightly to her right, with her eyes also looking in the same direction. Her facial features include arched eyebrows and a small mouth with lipstick. Her hair is styled in waves, partially covered by a wide-brimmed hat with a satin finish and ribbon. She wears a fur stole over her shoulders, a string of pearls around her neck, and a jewel-encrusted ring on her right hand. The background is a plain backdrop.
