This painting shows a woman sitting at a table, wrapped in a striped yellow-and-black shawl. She’s holding a book open with one hand while resting her chin on it. The background is blurry, but you can make out a vase with flowers and a chair. The colors are bold—bright yellows, deep purples, and earthy browns—with thick, rough brushstrokes. The painting feels alive with energy, almost like the artist hurried through it. The way the light hits her face and hands makes them stand out against the darker background. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
