About this work

This painting shows a woman with dark hair and a neutral expression. She’s wearing a white hooded cloak with a red stripe at the neckline. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her face and clothes, making the colors blend in a soft, uneven way. The background is plain and rough, focusing all attention on her. The artist’s signature and date (1895) are scribbled in the corner. If you like this style, look up Impasto.
