Description
Girl – crossed arms against a green eye chart
Painting on canvas folds the girl’s arms across her chest and tilts her head just far enough to read as stubborn — modern painting whose whole expression sits in the pose, because the round glasses catch a pale blue light and hide the eyes entirely. Behind her the olive ground carries faint letters ranked like an optician’s chart.
Technique and texture
A thick black contour runs right round the figure and cuts her away from the ground, the same graphic trick a street hoarding uses. The colour inside it is flat and saturated: cobalt for the skin, carmine for the dress. The ground is painted the opposite way, in wide visible sweeps that leave bristle marks and let lower layers show through.
The motif
The girl fills almost the full height of the canvas. Her dress is one unbroken carmine shape falling to the bottom edge, so nothing competes with the glasses. The letters behind her are smudged past reading and work as a memory of a room rather than as a sign.
Setting and placement
The green and the red are a bracing pair, and they want a wall with nothing else on it. Hang it where the joke lands quickly — a hallway, a home office, a corner of a child’s room.

Girl: sizes and delivery
Girl, with her crossed arms, is made in 14 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 265 cm. A child’s corner or a narrow wall takes 50 x 75 cm, a hallway 60 x 90 cm, and a 120 cm console 80 x 120 cm, two thirds of its width. Beside a stairwell the girl in round glasses holds the eye at 110 x 165 or 130 x 195 cm.
Tick YES under Stretcher and the olive green canvas with the blue girl arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is not part of the order: the Frame menu starts at Without frame, and a frame around the black contour is chosen only if you want one. The girl in the carmine dress is delivered in 15–45 days. The thick black contour and flat colour fields are hand-painted with a brush, so this painting is not a print.

Which size of Girl suits a child’s room?
For a narrow wall in a child’s room choose 50 x 75 cm, and for a wider wall 80 x 120 cm, so the glasses and crossed arms read clearly.
How long does Girl take to reach me?
The blue-skinned girl in her carmine dress is delivered in 15–45 days.
Is the painting Girl printed?
No, the black contour, the cobalt skin and the olive ground with its letters are hand-painted with a brush.
Can I order Girl in a size that is not listed?
You can: if none of the 14 sizes between 40 x 60 and 180 x 265 cm suits you, look at our paintings made to order and write to us.
