Woman Beneath the Red Veil

A raw, expressionistic painting presents a solemn woman in a deep red veil holding the severed, bloodied head of a horned animal. The figure emerges from a turbulent field of earthen reds, rust, gray, and black, while a pale circular form hovers in the upper right like a moon or watching eye. Thick, agitated marks and compressed forms give the scene the gravity of a private ritual or tragic allegory.
