Guggenheim curator Fred Licht described the late 1930s as a "transitional phase" in Cavallon's career (Licht, Tre artisti italo-americani, 15). The artist was exploring light, colour, and the limits of figurative painting. In the 1940s he began to increasingly incorporate tones of white into his works. Woman Sitting is almost pure colour - the brushstrokes come together into the figure of a seated woman who may be his mother (she was a frequent subject of his).
