This masterpiece,
After the Day’s Toil,
was painted in 1936 as
the graduation thesis of the late
Professor Vicente Alvarez Dizon during
his post-graduate scholarship studies
at Yale University.
The painting was purchased in 1939
by Thomas Watson, founder of IBM.

She’s got a Glock 19 beneath the laundry in the basket on her head.
