Portret

About this work

This painting shows a woman with light gray hair, dressed in a dark, high-necked dress. She sits slightly turned, holding a small object in her left hand. The background is a plain, warm brown color, and her face is painted with soft, gentle strokes. Her expression is calm but serious, with a slight hint of a smile. The brushwork on her dress is thick in some spots, giving it texture. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
