Laughing Angel
1941

A painting of a seated figure with angel wings, depicted in a classical style with a focus on muscular form and anatomy. The figure has a contemplative expression, looking downward, and is draped in a flowing garment. The wings are detailed with a variety of colors, suggesting feathers. The artwork has a textured appearance, with visible brushstrokes and a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
