Samuel Halpert

Woman in Doorway
1925

Oil painting depicting an interior scene with a woman in a blue dress and white apron standing at an open door, looking into a brightly lit room. To the left, a wooden staircase with a carved banister leads upwards, partially obscured by shadow. A small red-hatted figure sits at the base of the stairs, and potted plants rest on the windowsill to the right, bathed in natural light. The warm tones of the red carpet and wooden furniture contrast with the cool hues of the walls and the woman's attire. The artist's signature and the date, "Paris 1926," are visible in the lower right corner.
