About this work

A woman with pale skin and light hair leans on a windowsill, looking out. She wears a loose, reddish-brown dress with a white collar and cuffs. Her hands rest on the ledge, and a few green leaves and a red flower peek out from behind her arm. The background is a dark, blurry wall with a hint of blue and green. Her face is softly lit, with shadows under her cheekbones and around her eyes. The paint looks thick in places, especially on her skin and dress. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
