George Luks

Woman and Turkey
1924

A watercolor painting depicting a seated person in profile, wearing a blue shirt and white hat, plucking or preparing a dark-feathered bird on a wooden table. The background is dimly lit, suggesting an indoor setting with subtle light coming through a window, casting shadows on the floor and the person. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
