NOTES
Frederick Frieseke favored quiet, interior scenes of women, using the setting to explore the interplay of light, color, and pattern. In this work, loose brushstrokes in the Impressionist style depict the striking mauve tones of the couch and rug, as well as the room’s smaller details—the accent pillows, a screen in the corner, and a table topped with flowers and a figurine. Frieseke lived in France and spent his summers in Giverny, the home of French Impressionist Claude Monet.
