About this work

This painting shows a blurred, shadowy figure in the background and a woman in the front. She’s wearing a striped dress and a dark jacket, holding something in one hand. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few white highlights. The artist used a special printing method that adds shiny bits to the image. This makes the painting look almost like a sketch with extra texture. Want to learn more? Try looking up lithography.
