This painting features a young Asian woman, shown from the waist up, against a loosely painted background of warm yellow and tangerine orange. The paint has been applied with visible brushstrokes throughout. She meets the viewer’s gaze, and a hint of smile plays across her lips. Her long-sleeved lilac top features a standing collar, and light blue piping extends from the collar to the right edge of her torso and down to her waist. A couple loose strands of her jet-black hair frame her face. — Robert Henri

Tam Gan , 1914
