About this work

A woman sits in tall grass by a pond, her legs bent in front of her. She wears a loose, light-gray dress with rolled-up sleeves and dark stockings. Her hands rest on her knees, and her hair is pulled back. The water behind her is still, reflecting the sky. The grass and bushes around her are painted in quick, bright strokes. Notice how the paint is thick in some spots, especially on her dress and the grass. It almost looks like you could feel the texture. Look up impasto next.
