Decorative Head 1894

"Decorative Head" is a portrait painting by American artist Frank W. Benson, created in 1894. The painting depicts a young woman with auburn hair, dressed in a green robe, against a soft blue-green background. The composition features a simple, elegant design with a focus on the subject’s face and a hint of a decorative background pattern. The work exemplifies Benson’s mastery of portraiture and his artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century. The painting is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA.
