Add a piece of New York art history to your collection with this intimate original oil on canvas by Doris Klein (1918-2002). A notable figure in the mid-century Manhattan creative scene, Klein was celebrated as both a painter and a "Radio Poet," known for her expressive, often haunting figural compositions and nudes.

This piece showcases her signature style: bold color blocking—notably the striking red accent in the background—paired with soft, impressionistic brushwork that captures a moment of quiet, pensive movement. The artwork is housed in its original vintage frame, featuring a unique red-and-gold scrollwork motif that perfectly complements the palette of the canvas.
