About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a chair, fixing her shoe. She’s wearing a simple light dress and has one bare foot resting on the floor. The background is bright and blurry, with yellow and green streaks that look like sunlight through a window. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured, almost rough look. The colors are bold—lots of blue, yellow, and green—with no smooth blends between them. This style is called impasto.
