Fairfield Porter

Girl in the Woods (Green Girl; Under the Elms)

A sun-dappled forest scene rendered in Porter's characteristically loose, luminous style, this color lithograph depicts a solitary female figure nestled among the towering trunks and leafy canopy of a woodland setting. The composition balances intimacy and expansiveness, with soft, layered hues of green and earthy tones evoking the gentle, filtered light characteristic of a summer afternoon beneath the elms. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, the work reflects Porter's mastery of translating his painterly sensibility into the printmaking medium.
