When Buford moved to Paris to launch his career. Joseph remained in New York and studied at the Art Student League with painters such as Jackson Pollock. He enjoyed drawing from life and tried to emulate the work of some of the famous Renaissance masters he saw in New York museums. Delaney's carnivalesque paintings reflect his rich life experience, which influenced his creative choices and contributed to his captivating expressionist style.

Delaney's Woman with Red Bracelet depicts an African American woman sitting in a carved wooden chair, with her hands crossed on her lap. The background is composed of browns and blacks, and the woman's blue dress and glowing skin provide great contrast and dimension. The red bracelet on her left hand correspond to the touches of red on her lips and her painted nails.

Delaney used painterly brushwork, and you can see his hands in process. If you look closely at the strokes and patches of paint throughout the composition. Such technique reminds us of the many choices an artist makes when they create a painting. His attention to the human figure is evident in the rounded forms and organic outlines.
