Young Girl with Red Hair

This piece shows a young girl with short-cropped red hair in front of a blue background. She is sitting at an angle but has turned her head to look directly at the viewer.

Possibly c. 1920: Based on clothing and hairstyle, it could also be later because of the stylistic approach. 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.
