About this work

This painting shows a close-up face with bold, dark outlines and flat colors. The skin is a warm brown, the hair is black with purple streaks, and the background is a light, uneven tan. The eyes are large and dark, and the mouth is slightly open, giving a serious look. The artist used thick, uneven brushstrokes to create texture, especially around the hair and edges. The colors are simple but striking, with deep blacks and purples standing out against the brown tones. If you like this style, check out more works by Emil Nolde.
