    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes.

    This technique is not quite as naturalistic and realistic as European art of this time, but it is drastically more naturalistic than the traditional indigenous art. Figures depicted in native indian art were solid, bright colors with harsh black outlines, creating an almost cartoonish effect.

This depiction of profiles and figures is more anatomically correct than most original indigenous works. The dark coloring of the painting reveals indigenous roots, and allows for lighter parts of the piece to become the focal point. In this work, the light shines primarily on the foreground of the painting and consequently the eye of the viewer is drawn to the figure in the…
