Q131586428 is a 1895 oil by Giovanni Giacometti, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a person wearing a white head covering and a red and white striped shirt. The subject is shown in profile, facing left, with their body turned slightly towards the viewer. The background is a muted greenish-blue color. The brushstrokes are visible and expressive, giving the painting a sense of texture and energy. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of color and texture, you might want to explore the technique of impasto.
