About this work

This painting shows a woman in a simple portrait. She’s wearing a greenish top with a red jacket over it, and her hair is pulled back. The background is blurry, with soft colors that fade into the edges. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on her face and clothes. The artist used bold colors but kept the lighting simple, focusing on her expression. Check out impasto next to see how thick paint layers create texture.
