E. on the Blue Sofa
oil
11" x 15" (28 cm x 38.1 cm)


The blue sofa strikes again.

Although it does not show in the painting, the model looked very much like a young Audrey Hepburn, and she reminded you of the type of girl Audrey Hepburn used to play in her early films, such as Funny Face or Sabrina.

The model has since abandoned Winnipeg. She pulled a Kafka on us, and is now lost in Prague.

As an antidote to my own nudes and the nude study by Alfred Munnings posted Monday, June 19th, immediately below is a nude by Jean Dubuffet.
