Unfortunately not on display at the moment
During his time as an art correspondent in Paris, Albert Paris Gütersloh (1887–1973) made himself familiar with French art, particularly the Fauvists. The unidealized portrayal of an unknown women in Female Portrait of 1914 shows Gütersloh’s talent for capturing personality and psychology. Except for the reddish hair, the artist builds the entire small-sized oil painting from different gradations and shades of pastel blends of blue, green, and gray. The slightly absent-minded, calm look on her face is countervailed by the ruffled painting style. The woman’s whole face seems to be tapering into her tight-lipped small mouth. Maybe she is a wealthy patron who is seen here in an elegant white blouse with a large pearl necklace.
