Margery Parish

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body depiction of a female figure standing upright. She has a serene facial expression with simple, stylized features, and long, dark hair. She wears a long, flowing black dress with a white panel at the center and holds a cloth displaying another face. A halo-like series of lines is above her head. The image is framed within a border of undulating patterns in shades of blue and maroon. The background is light beige.
