This painting shows a person in profile, wearing a bright red sweater and a white collar. Their hair is pulled back, and the background is a mix of yellow, green, and blue brushstrokes. The face is simple, with soft shading around the ears and cheek. The brushwork is loose, almost sketchy in places, giving it a warm, lived-in feel. The red sweater stands out sharply against the softer colors behind. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
