Closed Blinds 1924

"Closed Blinds" (1924) by Frederick Carl Frieseke is a portrait of a woman, likely his wife, in a domestic setting. The woman sits in a red armchair, her gaze direct and contemplative, wearing a striped blouse and pearl necklace. The light filtering through the closed blinds casts shadows on the woman's face, lending an air of mystery to the scene. This painting, a prime example of Frieseke's Impressionist style, exemplifies the artistic fascination with the everyday and captures the nuances of light and color characteristic of the movement.
