This is a close-up portrait of a woman with smooth dark hair pulled back. She’s wearing a high-necked black dress under a loose, peach-colored top with faint brushstrokes showing texture. The background is dark and plain, keeping all focus on her face. The brushwork on her cheek and collar is thick, almost like the paint was dabbed on in chunks. It gives the clothing a slightly rough look compared to her smooth skin. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
