Woman Smiling
Thomas Hart Benton American
Not on view
This sketch is one of dozens of drawings that Benton used to compose his mural America Today, also in the Museum’s collection (2012.478a–j). In the scene of shimmying dancers in the City Activities with Subway mural panel, where neon lights outside the theater promise 50 GIRLS, the central dancer bears a strong resemblance to the woman in this drawing.
