This painting shows a woman in a plain white headscarf and a loose blue dress. Her hands rest on her lap, and one finger touches her chin as if she’s deep in thought. The background is a rough, textured wall with faint stripes of pink and gray. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured, almost handmade feel. The lighting is soft, focusing on her face while leaving the background shadowy. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
