This painting shows a woman in a red dress with a white collar and cuffs. She sits with her hands resting on her lap, looking straight ahead. The background is blurry, with muted colors and a dark wall behind her. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the painting a rough, almost unfinished look. The red dress stands out against the softer, faded colors around her. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
