About this work

This painting shows an older woman sitting down. She’s wearing a dark brown dress with a white head covering tied under her chin. In her hands, she holds a large, closed book with a red cover. The background is a plain, dark blue-green color. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her face and clothes, giving the painting a textured look. This style makes the colors pop and adds depth to her features. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
