Lady in Mourning (1930). Martin Mendgen (German, 1893-1970). Oil on canvas. Stadtmuseum Simeonstift.

Cool and immaculately painted against an "empty" background, his large-format portraits of elegant young women from 1930 presented themselves, including the Lady in Mourning in a conservative, yet fashionable, ensemble of black dress, cap, veil, and ring.
