The girl with the abundant wavy black hair is set against an electric yellow background, while wearing an ultramarine blue sweater and lacy collar. This could well be a portrait of a Nun letting her hair down, but it is actually a good-humoured neighbour, who has agreed to pose for Rhyn. One is tempted to run their fingers through her luxurious dark tresses, but is restrained by her no-nonsense gaze. The artist has captured her homeliness, verging on gorgeousness; just like one might imagine the girl from "The Good Soldier" to look like.  M.G.
