Girl With Hair Ribbon was painted by Roy Lichtenstein during a period in which he was working with comics exclusively. Within Lichtenstein's comics period, there was a time where he exclusively painted close-ups of women. In Girl With Hair Ribbon as with everything from that sub-period, the highly stylised beauty of the woman's face makes for an overpowering femininity in the painting. However, a certain narrative quality also pervades the painting. Even though taken out of context, the image still retains some of the narrative qualities of the comic it was taken from. The woman is looking out towards the viewer, with an expression that hints at longing, pensiveness, or perhaps even fear. We the viewers are left with a tiny fragment of a story, but a fragment nonetheless. The image, then, is not a mere portrait of femininity, but of the affect the unseen phenomenon of the comic's original story have on what can see in the frame. The aesthetic of Lichtenstein's comic paintings is achieved in a similar manner. The original aspects of the image are maintained, but its size is greatly increased and a single detail is focused on, in this case the woman's head and face. The stark, thick line work becomes even more noticeable. Solid coloration is juxtaposed with regular patterns of colored dots, the method used to print color comics.
