TO, ATTRIBUTED TO, OIL ON MASONITE. <br><br>Image Size:18 5/8 by 12 inches (47.3 by 30.5 cm) All measurements are approximate.<br>Signed (lower right) Executed in the artist's signature figurative style, this work depicts a confident woman in a lavender slip dress and wide-brimmed straw hat, standing with hands on hips. Katz eliminates intricate shadow modelling, constructing the figure through simplified outlines and distinct colour planes. The softly blended warm background and subtle foliage evoke a laid-back summer atmosphere. Rejecting overloaded narrative detail, Alex Katz captures the immediate presence of the sitter with cinematic immediacy. The straw hat is one of the artist's recurring iconic motifs, embodying casual modern elegance, standing as a quintessential theme within his celebrated female portrait series.<br><br><strong>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS, REFUNDS, OR CANCELLATIONS.</strong><br><br> <strong>Condition and Authenticity:</strong><br><br> Any statement in the catalogue, condition report, photographs, video, invoice, or other written or oral communication regarding the origin, date, age, attribution, authorship, authenticity, provenance, material, condition, or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only.
