Description from the seller

In front of the Cotton Club’s illuminated sign, a woman in a pink dress stands upright facing the street. The red car behind her and the warm club light hint at an imminent evening.
The composition blends glamour, suggested music, and narrative tension. The character’s frontal gaze establishes a direct relationship with the viewer.
A vibrant work, rooted in jazz aesthetics and the American imagination.
