Frances Hodgkins (New Zealand, 1869 - 1947): Seated woman (c. 1925-1930) (via Tate)

From the museum website:

In this portrait Hodgkins uses a series of interlocking patterns in a combination of naturalism and abstraction that she developed from studying the work of Matisse. The ambiguous setting adds to the fantastical, almost surreal effect. This bringing together of a number of sources into an insistently individual work led to what one 1940s critic called Hodgkins’ ‘blend of the decorative and the visionary’.
