Description
Research in ProgressIllustration for a Knopf edition (unpublished) of Carl van Vechten's controversial novel, Nigger Heaven, originally published in 1926. At center, the face of a woman [the character Adora Boniface] wearing a blue pearl necklace and matching blue pearl earrings, looking to the left. The woman's hair is parted on the left side of her face, and seems to be swept into a low bun at the back of her head.
