This mid-century expressionist portrait features a woman in a three-quarter profile with a somber, downcast expression. The artist utilizes a heavily textured approach, blending dark charcoal contouring with washes of green, pink, and blue gouache. The subject’s stylized features and the vertical bands of color in the background are hallmarks of Presser's social realist and figurative style. The work is signed "Presser" in the lower left corner. It is housed in a decorative gilt wood frame with a red-painted accent and a linen liner.
