Description

Zoë Mozert (American, 1907-1993)
Expectations
Oil on panel
28 x 45 inches (71.1 x 114.3 cm)
Signed lower right: Zoe Mozert

This evocative work, titled Expectation, carries a deeply personal story behind its creation. The artist, Zoe, painted it as a gift of gratitude and setting goals for her plastic surgeon. The painting captures Zoe's vision of herself after surgery-an introspective and emotionally charged interpretation of transformation and hope. It stands as both a personal reflection and a symbolic expression of the trust and aspirations tied to the surgical journey.
