About this work

This painting shows a person sitting on a chair, reading a book. They’re naked, with one arm resting on the chair and the other holding the book. The background has a red wall, a plant in a pot, and a patterned rug on the floor. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a rough, unfinished look. The lighting is simple, focusing on the person’s face and body. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint is used in other artworks.
