This mid-century portrait depicts a woman with her eyes closed, draped in a voluminous light pink shawl or veil. The artist uses a combination of smooth blending for the facial features and a thick, textured impasto for the dark, moody background, creating a dramatic contrast that emphasizes the subject's serene expression. The work is signed "Grace" in red in the lower-left corner. It is presented in a carved gilt wood frame with a linen-covered inner liner.
