Acrylic painting on canvas depicting a stylized portrait of the artist's friend Maryanne. The face is centrally positioned and simplified, with large, dark, almond-shaped eyes and dark lips outlined in black. Bold, gestural black brushstrokes form the eyebrows, hair, and nose. The background is loosely painted with visible brushwork and soft color variations, with the tan-color of the canvas showing through in some places.

Rights over this item are held by the managers of Christopher Lauckner's estate and any use of this image must be vetted by Christopher Lauckner's estate prior to its use.
