About this work

This painting shows a portrait of a person with a neutral expression. The face is painted in shades of red, black, and gray on a yellow background. The person's hair is dark and short, and their eyes are cast downward. The painting is done in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The colors are muted, with the yellow background providing a warm contrast to the cool tones of the face. The artist's use of watercolor creates a sense of delicacy and fragility, which is at odds with the bold, graphic quality of the painting. To learn more about this technique, look up glazing.
