About this work
Description
The woman has long hair in the style of Hollywood film stars of the 1940s. In her left hand she holds a cigarette, in her right an empty wine-glass. On the table, other empty wine-glasses, spilt wine, and an ashtray. In the lower right corner, a green cross, the significance of which has not been ascertained; the green cross is the sign of a pharmacy in some countries, but that does not seem to explain its presence here
