On View
Not on viewThis woman remains unknown, but with her thin frame, bob haircut, and defined features, she resembles the female protagonists in many of the stories of adventure and romance that Curry illustrated. She wears a dress of silk and chiffon in the tubular silhouette common during the 1920s and carries a fan typically brought to an evening event.
