This is a close-up portrait of a woman’s face and shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing a simple dark collar. The background is a plain, muted green. The brushstrokes are loose, especially around her neck and hair. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with some areas still showing the texture of the paint. The artist focused on her face, leaving the rest simple. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
