This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders in profile. She wears a bright orange headwrap with gold coins sewn into it, and her clothing has red and green details. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her headscarf, and the background is a light, uneven color. The artist used bold colors and loose strokes, which makes the portrait feel lively. The way the light hits her face and headwrap suggests a focus on contrast. Look up impasto to see how this painting’s thick brushwork compares to other works.
