This is a portrait of a woman in a dark brown riding coat and a black top hat. Her white collar and bow tie peek out from under the jacket. The background is a plain, light beige with a faint hint of green and blue in the distance. The paint looks thick in spots, especially on her hat and coat. It’s not perfectly smooth—some brushstrokes are visible, giving it texture. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
