"Lady in Black" is an original 20 × 16 inch acrylic painting by John Stoa. This intriguing figure study offers a unique perspective, depicting a woman tying up the back of her black dress.

The layered composition draws the viewer into the intimate scene, blending elegance, mystery, and artistic storytelling. Perfect for collectors of modern figurative art, "Lady in Black" is a sophisticated and thought-provoking addition to any space.
