Woman in Rocking Chair

This painting features a Black woman sitting on a wooden rocking chair, exuding a strong and confident aura. She sports a voluminous, curly afro and wears a colorful striped tank top paired with denim shorts. White sneakers and vibrant striped socks complete her look. Her pose is relaxed yet expressive, with crossed arms and legs, and she gazes upward with a thoughtful expression. The background and chair are rendered in warm yellow and brown tones, highlighting her as the central figure.
