About this work

A woman in a bright pink dress sits on a chair, holding a small book open in her hands. The room around her is dim, with dark wood furniture and shelves packed with books. A red armchair sits nearby, and a small dog lies on the floor, half-hidden by a cloth. Notice how the light hits her face, making it stand out against the shadows. The brushstrokes on her dress are thick, almost textured. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
