In the oil painting Girl, with its patches of bright, broken colours, there is a vigour about the vertically aligned, prism-like shapes that make up the background that is at odds with the image of the girl: listless, sad, or tired, or just bored. She is possibly convalescing. The painting is Expressionist, even if there is a certain Cubist prismatic boxiness about the shoulder. The boundary between face and background is indistinct. The paint is thick and gives the impression of having been summarily done, as the canvas gapes bare in a few places.
