Kahlo created only one painting during her first few months in Detroit—a depiction of a July Fourth window display she saw while on a walk. The festive, patriotic scene perhaps provided some comfort for the homesick artist. She said of the display, “It was like Mexico, with the flower garlands and the papier-mâché figures!".
