Another fabulous example of original, stunning, historical art on view at the Detroit Institute of Arts. I love how the woman has details so you see what she looks like yet some areas are left to your imagination – especially love the bottom right corner left more abstract. This coupled with the wall color + flowers in the background. WOW. Can you guess this artist? Take a minute… answer is below!

Were you able to guess? If not, take a peek below for the answer! Note – signature was “erased” from image I took above.
