About this work

This painting shows a woman wearing a dark headscarf with a white collar peeking out. Her face is serious, with a hint of red on her lips. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a rough, sketchy look. The headscarf’s pattern is simple but stands out against her pale skin. The artist signed it in the corner, but no other details are clear. Look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
