Portrait of Dora in Interior
c. 1957

A serene interior scene featuring a woman in profile sitting on a plush yellow armchair. She appears contemplative, gazing towards a vase of vibrant flowers on a small table, which is also adorned with a reclining nude figurine. To the left, a lamp casts a warm glow over the room, illuminating another vase of flowers and various objects on a shelf in the background. A framed landscape painting hangs on the wall to the right, completing the composition with a touch of fine art. The room exudes a sense of calm and quiet elegance.
