She is striking a theatrical pose—her left arm is raised behind her head, and her right hand rests on her hip, creating a strong "S" curve through the torso. This dynamism is accentuated by her attire: a vivid, form-fitting crimson red garment that contrasts sharply against an opaque, abstract background. The application of paint appears rapid and confident, characteristic of Expressionism.

This is an original artwork by Harry Jelinek (1905-1986), who was born in the Czechloslovakia and worked in Italy. It is signed "Jelinek '65" on the bottom right corner. The painting is framed very simply and ready to hang. It measures 27 inches wide by 39 inches high. See less
