DescriptionThis is a small oil on canvas painting of a young woman. Her shoulders face the left side of the canvas and she looks over her left shoulder toward the lower part of the canvas. She wears a white high-necked blouse and her brown hair is swirled up and around her head. The blouse is painted with energetic loose brush strokes while the face is worked in tighter detail. The background is abstractly painted in green, once again with the wide brush strokes.Label TextAlfred Stevens Belgian, 1823–1906 Portrait of a Young Woman Oil on canvas Gift of the Norfolk Foundation 2000.7.1 ProvenanceHirschl & Adler, New York, 1998; Mr. Perry Morgan, 1998; Gift of The Norfolk Foundation, 2000.
