This piece is less impressionistic, more modern.
Not so decidedly peasant.
And yet, still very Clausen.

Solid joys, deep sorrows, aggressive hope
A Living Pencil 
Yes, I’d love to know what she’s thinking….. her demeanor is pensive, but her face appears sunburnt. Perhaps she’s just uncomfortable.In which room in your home would you hang this portrait?
Guest room, I’d guess!
I like the contrast of the green background–which is so flat–to the character, which gives her so much more dimension. She definitely a serious one, but her eyes are very striking.
I love the rich earth colors — colors of our hills around our home.
