Guy Pène Du Bois

Woman with Cigarette
1929

A painting depicting two women from the early 20th century, with the focus on the one in the foreground who is shown from the back with an elaborate feathered dress, and the other woman in the background looking to the side. The style suggests an art deco influence, with soft lighting and a blend of warm and cool tones.
