Portrait of Young Woman with Brown Hair

This piece shows a young woman with light brown hair that is tied back. She sits on an angle to the viewer and gazes off towards the right side of the canvas.

Bertha May Ingle

Possibly c. 1910: The hairstyle feels early, otherwise there is very little to base the conclusion on. This is another piece where the canvas has been pasted on masonite, a material not available until the 1930s. These pieces all have matching red numbers on the back and slightly odd signatures. The best theory is they were prepared for a show that was supposed to be held around 1950.
