Woman in a Yellow Dress is a stunning painting of his beautiful wife Martha. Her arms are draped over the back of a chaise longue [sic] which is upholstered in a green patterned fabric, as she gazes out at us in a languid and relaxed pose. There is a supreme look of contentment in her expression. The yellow dress with its many tones is in total harmony with the sofa and compliments her pale limbs.

She’s not some shy, demure little lady. She is a confident, feisty woman in a fabulous dress. You may be looking at her but she’s looking right back at you asking “What are you looking at?” – she is just amazing. I wonder if the artist Maximillian Kurzweil told her to pose that way or if she decided to herself." (https://thislifeandtimes.com/2013/11/18/lady-in-yellow-dress/)
