Woman in Black, Saturday Evening Post story illustration 1947

Edwin Georgi's "Woman in Black" (1947) is a striking illustration created for the Saturday Evening Post. The artwork depicts a woman in a black gown, lying in a bed with a yellow blanket, her face drawn in concern. The scene is illuminated by a soft, warm light, enhancing the dramatic atmosphere. Georgi's masterful use of black and white, accented by the yellow blanket, creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, leaving the viewer to imagine the story behind the woman's worried expression. This illustration is a fine example of the artistic style popular during the mid-20th century, often characterized by its use of dramatic lighting and evocative imagery.
