A vibrantly colored, tightly packed procession of uneven verticals nearly envelops a face painted in markedly non naturalistic shades of green and purple. Kupka would later say that to make this painting he had reworked an unfinished portrait of his wife, laying in strokes of color around her face until it was all but obscured by their boldly flat pattern—a method suggesting a literal assault on figuration.
