The woman is enjoying a painting by Barnett Newman, a key American Abstract Expressionist known for large-scale 'Color Field' paintings featuring vertical stripes called 'zips,' designed to create a meditative, spiritual, and sublime experience.
His work emphasizes emotional impact over representation, using pure color to evoke feelings of presence, transcendence, and human existence.
All the best, Gerard
