Lawton Parker’s painting is a striking, intimate portrait. The close-up depiction of the subject's face and neck draws the viewer into the subtle details of her facial expression. Angled in a three-quarter view, she gazes out, her downturned lips and eyes hint at a somber tone. Half of her face is cloaked in shadow, adding gravity to the portrait. Parker paints the subject with a dark, tonal approach here, eschewing the luminism of the Giverny works that he would become famous for.
