Dressed in a softly draped ivory garment, the sitter is rendered against a subdued olive and umber background, allowing the gentle pinks of her complexion and the warm tones of her skin to emerge from the darker surroundings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChas.
