Seated Woman with Hat

Close up of Seated Woman with Hat

Woman with large hat sits contemplatively, looking left, her arms resting on her crossed knees, holding a cigarette. Dark lines of print begin on the bottom, fading out towards the center, in line with her hands. A long fur stole reaches over her coat, crossing her body.
