Beautiful antique oil on canvas portrait of a woman with brown eyes by French artist Max-Albert Decrouez.  It's the rip-roaring twenties and what a great portrait to illustrate the times!  A flapper girl!  She's on a thick canvas which is relatively smooth and signed and dated by the artist in the lower left corner.
