A woman sits on a red chair, her body turned slightly away. One arm rests on the chair’s armrest, the other drapes over the back. She wears a dark skirt and a red shawl over her shoulders, but her upper body is bare. The background is blurry, with hints of green and a window. The paint looks thick in places, especially on her skin and the chair. The red chair stands out against the muted tones, drawing your eye. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the painting a raw feel. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
