About this work

This painting shows a person wearing a white headscarf wrapped around their head and neck. The scarf is tied under their chin, and a red flower is pinned to the side. Their dark hair peeks out from under the scarf, and they’re wearing a red cloth around their neck. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The background is dark, making the face and scarf stand out. Look up *impasto* to see how this technique works.
