Field Flowers
1946

A painting depicting a seated figure in a patterned robe, focusing intently on a pair of shoes they are holding. The background features a vibrant red wall, and on a brown table to the left, there is a vase with a bouquet of colorful flowers. The artwork is rendered in a style that uses bold colors and flat, geometric shapes.
