French Tart
1978

A vibrant, expressionistic painting featuring three stylized female figures with exaggerated features, wearing yellow dresses with green collars and red bows. The background consists of a lattice-like pattern with a variety of colors, and the figures appear to be mirror images of each other, with the central figure facing forward and the outer two in profile.
