Lady with Roses 1937

"Lady with Roses" is a 1937 oil painting by Greta Freist, a German-American artist known for her portraits and figurative work. This painting depicts a woman, likely a self-portrait, in a dark green robe against a backdrop of a patterned floral curtain. Her hand delicately holds a single, vibrant red rose, symbolizing beauty and passion. The soft lighting and realistic detail contribute to a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The rose motif is repeated throughout the painting, creating a visual harmony that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal.
