About this work

This painting shows a woman in a bright red coat with a white collar. She’s standing indoors, holding a small object in her hand. Behind her, a dark wall and a colorful, swirling blanket add texture to the scene. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, giving the painting a rough, textured look. The red coat stands out against the softer colors around her. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for bold effects.
