About this work

This painting shows a woman wearing a dark headscarf and a light, patterned jacket over a white shirt. She holds a basket of flowers—red, white, and green—on her lap. Behind her, a vase with more flowers sits on a shelf, and the background is dark and plain. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her clothes and the basket, giving the fabric a textured look. The lighting focuses on her face, making it stand out against the shadowy backdrop. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
