1923.190: Immortal Beauty
PaintingsA dark tan, rectangular painted scroll depicts a woman standing upright on the right side and faces toward the right. Her right hand holds a small, red ribbon in front of her chest. Her hair is draped behind her head and is accessorized with a white flower. She is dressed in a white outer robe and blue inner robe that flow as if blown by wind towards the left. Small white and grey waves surround her feet and behind her. There is a thin, patterned frame around the scroll.
