Artist from the École de Paris circle who settled in Paris around 1923. In the mid-1930s he moved to the United States, eventually settling in Riverdale. The indicated time, the mid-1930s, is also the symbolic boundary of two periods in Sigmund Menkes' work.
Compared to his earlier compositions, which formally converge with the offered portrait of a young woman, during his stay in America the soft impressionistic-povistic way of painting filled with ultimately undefined contours, elements of characteristic color tones, gives way to
sharp lines and intense colors such as blue, green, red and black. The presented canvas by Zygmunt Menkes was probably created in the late 1930s, as indicated by the impressionistic way in which the whole composition is built up.
