This 24" inch x 22" oil painting on linen by Oklahoma-native, Los Angeles-based artist Robert Bonaparte features a simplified abstracted figure, dressed in a garment with stripes of yellow and purple. A small section of brown paint emerges from the top left corner of the work, and stops at a point about 1/3 down from the top of the canvas. The background is divided into two distinct sections: on the left, a pattern of small triangles painted with various tones of orange and yellow, and on the right, vertical stripes with alternating shades of brown and pale yellow, and vary in thickness. The painting mainly utilizes earthy tones but is highlighted by bright yellows, oranges and purples.

After graduating from the University of Arizona in 1956, Bonaparte's thirst for knowledge took him to Rome, Italy. In 1959, alongside a small cohort of Oklahoma artists, including his life-long friend Ed Ruscha, he relocated to California. Bonaparte's work, known for its vibrant landscapes and introspective still life compositions, has graced galleries worldwide.
