About this work

This painting shows a woman in profile, her hand resting on her head. She’s dressed in a dark coat with a red collar, and the background is a dark, shadowy space with a hint of light on one side. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her face and hair, giving it a textured look. The way the light hits her face while the rest stays dark is a classic trick to make her stand out. It’s like the artist used shadows to shape her features. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
