Lot Essay

In 1947, Doris Lee circled the Gulf of Mexico while on assignment as an illustrator for Life magazine. She traveled to Cuba, through Western Florida and down the Pan American Highway in Mexico, producing more than a dozen works inspired by the trip. Probably painted in 1949, the present work may relate to the subject matter she encountered on her tropical tour.
