Early, strongly figurative work by the Groningen artist Els Amman, known for her colorful compositions in the tradition of Hendrik Werkman and compared to Chagall. Warm ochre and orange tones contrast with deep blues and greens, with an expressively rendered face and hand supporting the sculpture. Signed and dated "Els Amman '61" in the upper right. This work dates from her earliest, artistically searching period shortly after her training at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, a phase that is highly valued in art history.
