About the piece

Created by French artist Suzanne Valadon, this portrait of Nora Kars demonstrates the artist's mastery of line and form. The subject is depicted with a steady, grounding presence in a navy gown, set against a warm ochre backdrop that emphasizes the modernist style of the early 20th century.
