About this work

A woman sits barefoot on a rough wooden stool in a forest. She wears a loose white shirt and a dark blue skirt, holding a red cloth in her lap. The trees around her are thick and dark, with tangled roots and dry leaves on the ground. Her face looks tired, but her hands are steady. The brushstrokes are thick in places, making the paint almost stand out. Look up impasto next to see how this texture works.
