Description"Young Girl with Palms" is exemplary of his oeuvre. Textured brushstrokes give the painting a sketchlike feel, and in places the figure seems to blend into the background. Neutral earth tones predominate and enhance the girl's rosy lips and cheeks. Her mysterious gaze into the distance and her slight smile add to the overall beauty and enchanting quality of the painting.On View
