"Franny" is an example of Bergman's well-known double portraits, in which there is melding of two visages - one tightly rendered and the other loosely expressive. Here the artist adeptly shifts styles within a single composition, juxtaposing photorealistic eyes and lips, with a scribbly two-tone hair-do, and a thin wash of color for the complexion, creating a distorted beauty reminiscent of Dadaist collage.
