JOSEPH DELANEY (1904 - 1991)
Portrait of a Woman in Windsor Chair.

Oil on masonite board, circa 1940. 787x597 mm; 31x23 1/2 inches. Signed in oil, lower left.

Provenance: the estate of the artist; private collection.

This striking painting is an excellent, early example of Joseph Delaney's portraiture. His direct, expressive approach conveys the immediacy of the sitting. The Windsor chair is also the same chair that Georgia O'Keefe used in Beauford Delaney's portrait.
