Fira Barshak
1929

A painting of a woman seated on a wooden chair, holding a stringed instrument, possibly a mandolin, on her lap. She wears a white sleeveless dress with a large bow at the waist and a blue headscarf dotted with white spots. Her expression is pensive as she gazes off to the side. Behind her, a shuttered window and a potted plant on a table covered with a red and white striped cloth are visible. The artist's signature is in the lower left corner.
