Mary R. Dawson

Oil on canvas portrait of Mary R. Dawson. The elderly subject sits in a yellow patterned armchair, facing forward and gazing slightly to the left. Her hair appears to be pulled back; she has wavy white bangs, green eyes, and a long face. She wears eyeglasses, a white blouse, green skirt, and green collared vest. In the background, a large leafy plant appears to the right; two vases or vessels sit atop a cabinet to the left.
