Rose and Gold: 'Pretty Nellie Brown', Philadelphia Museum of Art

It was painted thinly in rich tones of red and brown. There are several areas, particularly round her mouth, but also on her hands and clothes, that were rubbed down by the artist as part of the painting process. The face appears highly-finished, but soft and smooth, while freer, looser brush strokes define the hair and blouse.
