Anna Waser

Selected Works

A young girl with light skin and a very close-fitting black cap over her hair is shown holding paintbrushes and palette as she stands at an easel with a painting of a man in a hat. The girl wears a white dress with geometric pattern in blue and white on the front chest, a red overskirt, and a large black and gold collar. She looks directly out at the viewer.
