With clear echoes of Matisse's 'Woman with a Hat' (1905), this bold fauvist portrait depicts a woman with a stern expression, suggesting she may not know she is being painted. With the flashes of vivid colour, this could be a depiction of a woman seen from across a bar who has caught the attention of the artist, or even somebody close to the painter pictured in a relaxed setting. The ambiguity is what adds to the excitement and mystery of this piece.
