Description
A portrait in profile of a Renaissance woman with her hair swept up in an elaborate braided arrangement and a jeweled headband faces leftward against a dark ground, rendered in sepia tones with precise linear detail. Bold burgundy lettering announces "L'ART ITALIEN" below the figure, with smaller text denoting a Paris exhibition from May to July 1915, creating a formal and authoritative presentation typical of early twentieth-century institutional exhibition artwork. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
