This painting shows a woman dressed in fancy 18th-century clothes. She’s wearing a white wig with a flower on top, a blue dress with gold embroidery, and a red bow at her chest. Her hands rest on a light-colored fabric draped over her lap, and she has small red earrings. The brushstrokes look rough in places, almost like the paint was scraped or layered on. This might be a technique called *impasto*, where thick paint is applied to create texture. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use paint thickness to add depth.
