About this work

This painting shows a woman in a dark dress with a high collar and a light shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a serious expression. The background is a dark, oval shape that makes her face stand out. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her shawl and dress, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold brushwork.
