?Portrait of Woman? is one of Cohn?s original watercolors and is a portrait painting that invites the viewers to form their own interpretations. Cohn employed the wet-on-wet technique to create this large amorphous composition. To work wet-on-wet the artist saturates the paper with water and applies the pigment to the wet surface allowing it to bleed into all other wet areas freely, mixing colors and creating interesting textures as in ?Portrait of Woman.? The areas of gray, blue, and black bleed into the areas of burgundy, creating multiple shades of violet. There are also areas of brown to compliment the colder tones in the piece. This wonderfully fluid composition is complimented perfectly by the prato green vellum lower mat and titian gold linen top mat that it is mounted beneath. The painting is capped off by the beautiful ornate gold frame, giving it a sophisticated and modern presentation and bringing the total measurements to 19.25?x 22.25?. It is truly a marvelous, affordably priced piece by a nationally renowned artist that would be a unique and eye-catching addition to any collection of fine art.
