In Meghan by Alex Katz, the viewer is presented with a striking black-and-white profile portrait of a woman named Meghan. The composition captures Meghan's side profile against a solid black background, emphasizing the clean lines and bold contrasts that define Katz's minimalist style.

Meghan's features are outlined with precise, bold lines that highlight the contours of her face. Her expression is calm and contemplative, with her gaze directed forward. The simplicity of the lines used to depict her eyes, nose, and mouth captures the essence of her character with an elegant economy of detail.

Her hair is rendered in solid black, creating a stark contrast with the white space that defines her face and neck. The use of negative space enhances the focus on her profile, allowing the viewer to appreciate the refined simplicity of the composition.

Meghan is wearing a garment with striped patterns, indicated by bold, diagonal lines that add a dynamic element to the otherwise serene portrait. The stripes provide visual interest and balance, complementing the overall composition and drawing attention to the lower part of the image.

Overall, Meghan exemplifies Katz's ability to create powerful and evocative portraits through minimalism. The painting's bold use of contrast, clean lines, and elegant simplicity invites the viewer to engage with the subject's quiet introspection and timeless beauty, celebrating the artistry and precision of Katz's distinctive style.
