Negress
1913

An expressive painting depicting a stylized female figure with dark hair and a prominent gaze. She is adorned in a black garment with white and red accents, set against a loosely painted blue background with abstract red and white shapes suggesting movement or music. The brushwork is dynamic, adding to the overall sense of energy and emotion conveyed by the image.
