Lady in Purple 

This artwork by American artist Robert Peak (1927-1992) features a woman in a purple dress standing in profile, with her hand on her hip. Her pose and the background are painted in an abstract style that uses fragmented shapes and geometric patterns to create a sense of depth and movement. The woman’s form is nearly obscured by the complex, patterned background, suggesting a mystery or a desire to remain hidden. This artwork might be a study in contrast, between the figure and the abstract background, or between light and dark.
