An enigmatic and beautiful image of a modern woman is presented, a symbol of cosmopolitan marked by urbanisation and cultural exchange. She wears a faint smile on her soft, full lips, with flowers in her hair. The proliferation of cinema and print media hugely influenced the attire and style of women. In this work, the beauty's hair is fashioned according to the modern trends of the period, and she wears a traditional kebaya blouse, resulting in a picturesque figure. Her elegance is well captured. Dato' Hoessein Enas was accorded a Retrospective by the National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, in 1966 - 10 years after he obtained Malaysian citizenship, and a major posthumous exhibition was organised by the Ilham Gallery in Kuala Lumpur in December 2015. The Sultan of Selangor appointed him as a 'royal painter' (1990) and the next year, awarded him the Dato' title. Hoessein's first solo was in London, at the Charneil Gallery in Chelsea, in London, in 1960, when he won a UNESCO fellowship and an Asia Foundation grant. Other awards followed: the United States fellowship (1969), and the Colombo Plan twice (1968 and 1976). His auction record was set at the 2011 Henry Butcher Art Auction for his Morning Mist No. 5 (1992) which sold for a RM198,000 premium.
