Seated Figure in Garden
1958

An impressionistic painting depicting a seated person with a contemplative expression, set against a backdrop of abstracted greenery and trees with a pale blue sky. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow on the figure and the surrounding landscape.
