About this work

This painting shows a woman with light gray hair, dressed in a dark, high-collared outfit. Her face is serious, with a neutral expression and a slight frown. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on her. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on her face and clothing, giving it a rough, textured look. The lighting is simple but highlights her features clearly. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint layers like this.
