This painting represents the back of a woman with bobbed, dark hair wearing a light blue shirt tucked into a white skirt. She stands with straight knees, leaning her weight onto her left leg, holding papers under her left arm and a cigarette in her right hand. She looks at an artwork hung on a wall that appears to be a painting. Standing in a gallery with light blue walls, she is surrounded by three paintings and two sculptures on pedestals.
Boats, Lucille Douglass, pencil
This image is created with black ink on white paper. It shows a board house with a boarded up chimney and a partially boarded up window, as well as a lurching dogleg off of the back. In the side yard of the house—which is the lower portion of the image—there are two barren trees and a group of three figures playing with a possum. Behind the group of figures is a fenced garden, and behind the fenced garden is a distant row of homes. There are trees behind the homes.
A Long Journey, Frank Weston Benson, etching
