A profile portrait of a young woman in oil on canvas mounted on wood panel. Eyes downcast, dark hair pinned with a small red rose. The handling is confident and economical, flesh tones warm against a largely unpainted ground. Signed with a monogram and dated 1913. Painted at the precise moment the French academic tradition stood in sharp dialogue with the Parisian avant-garde. Reframed in a black wood frame with silver detail by Bergevall Ramar, Stockholm.
