Observations: A striking portrait of an extremely strong woman, who exudes strength and matriarchal dignity. At the same time, the painting is an amalgam of patterns - the two fabrics play against each other in contrasting colours, and her face, while clearly representational, is a study in the use of contrast rather than shading to represent planes, giving the piece an unnerving but rewarding tension resolved through Maracle's strong line and purity of intent.
