Description

This small card likely drawn and painted by Edna Agar depicts a red-haired girl wearing a green blouse, purple skirt, multi-colored belt-scarf, long blue beaded necklace, and unlaced black combat boots. Her hands are on her hips, her nose is upturned, and her eyes are closed. Agar often illustrated cards and pictures for her friends, and this is likely one of these drawings.
