This painting represents the back of a woman with bobbed, dark hair wearing a light blue shirt tucked into a white skirt. She stands with straight knees, leaning her weight onto her left leg, holding papers under her left arm and a cigarette in her right hand. She looks at an artwork hung on a wall that appears to be a painting. Standing in a gallery with light blue walls, she is surrounded by three paintings and two sculptures on pedestals.

This colorful, loosely painted, vertically oriented canvas represents flags of various nations (an Allied flag celebration) on New York's Fifth Avenue in October of 1918. The spires of Saint Patrick's Cathedral are visible in the background.
