About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting down, her upper body bare and her arms wrapped in a bright, striped robe. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and oranges—and the brushstrokes are thick and loose, almost like they were painted quickly. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out. The way the paint is applied looks rough, with visible strokes that give the robe texture. It’s not a smooth finish—more like the artist slapped the paint on. If you like this style, look up impasto.
