Flat, two-dimensional. This picture features Nagel's signature style of graphic portraiture, with simplified and stylized facial features, bold use of flat planes of color, and a minimalist background. The woman's long, sleek hair and symmetrical composition add to the sense of graphic harmony and order in the piece. A woman is depicted in profile, with her face turned slightly away from the viewer. Her hair is styled in a sleek, angular bob that frames her face, and she wears a pair of large, gold hoop earrings. The woman's body is elongated and flattened, with her curves and contours suggested through smooth, stylized lines. The background of the portrait is a deep, rich blue, with the woman's skin rendered in a light peach tone. Her outfit is a striking combination of black and white, with a black top featuring bold, graphic white stripes. The collar of the top extends up to frame the woman's face, adding to the angularity of the composition.
