Subject: A central female figure seated in an armchair, her head tilted upwards toward the top-right corner of the frame. She wears a patterned dress with a mix of stripes and geometric shapes.

  • Composition: The figure holds a small vessel or bowl containing what appear to be two pieces of bright red fruit (possibly cherries or pomegranates) with green leaves.
  • Style: The artist uses a stylized, angular approach characteristic of modernism. The figure's face and body are rendered with simplified, flat planes and bold outlines.
  • Background: The setting is abstract but suggestive of an interior near a window, with a dark blue area to the right featuring decorative wrought-iron-style scrollwork.
  • Color Palette: Dominated by deep blues, muted grays, and earthy tones, contrasted sharply by the vibrant red of the fruit and the striped accents on the woman's garment. 

Dimensions: H:27in L:23in
