This piece shows a young girl with long golden brown hair in a fluffy pink dress that blends with the background. She sits on an angle to the viewer gazing off to the right.

Possibly c. 1935: Based on the girl's hairstyle, though it is difficult to say for sure. The canvas has been pasted to masonite, a material not available until the 1930s. This is part of a group of canvases that were pasted to masonite, all with matching red numbers on the back and slightly odd signatures. The best theory is these were pieces prepared for a show that was supposed to be held around 1950.
