About this work

This painting shows a woman with dark hair pulled back, wearing a dark dress with a fur collar. Her neckline is high, with a hint of a green and white pattern underneath. The background is a deep red, almost like a curtain, and her face looks serious. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially around her shoulders and hair, giving it a tactile feel. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Look up impasto next to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
