Description
Signed upper left: Herbin 21; the base of the portrait built the strongly sounded linear and plastically structure of the composition; strand, ribbon, eyes, nose and mouth seem to be hived off; but at the same time, a degree of a fleeting moment is achieved by a light shifting of expression and getting something very alive; in addition the bright mood of color, the pink of dress to the white of hair ribbon, the tan hair with grey greenish shades, recurring in the rest of the chair; brown reddish toned background
