Description

Alice Neel is known for her expressionistic portraits of family, lovers, neighbors, artists, and strangers, many of whom were members of her community in Spanish Harlem, a neighborhood in New York where Neel lived. Here, Julie – the daughter of Neel’s neighbor – holds a blond, blue-eyed doll as she gazes beyond the viewer.
