This painting shows a woman sitting still, wearing a loose orange-brown dress with a lace collar. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she rests her hands on her lap. The background is a plain, dark color that makes her stand out. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on her dress, giving it texture. This technique is called *impasto*—when paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the strokes. Try looking up *impasto* to see how other artists used it.
