About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a face against a dark background. The skin is painted in smooth, pale tones with a slight greenish tint. The eyes are wide open, dark, and staring straight ahead. The lips are bright red, almost glowing, with a tiny dot of white in the center. The painting looks like it was printed, not painted by hand. The colors are flat and even, with no brushstrokes visible. Check out lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
