A woman sits on a red couch, holding a white cloth or towel. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, blending soft skin tones with bold reds and yellows. Her pose is relaxed but not polished—some edges look unfinished, like the artist worked fast. The painting’s loose style makes it feel more like a sketch than a finished work. The colors pop against each other, especially the red couch and the pale skin. If you like this rough, expressive style, look up impasto next.
