About this work

This is a portrait of a person sitting down, wearing a bright red robe. Their face is pale with a smooth, almost blank expression, and they’re looking slightly off to the side. The background is a plain, light beige color, keeping all the focus on the sitter. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, especially on the red robe, giving it a textured look. The face is painted with softer strokes, almost blending into the skin. If you like this style, look up impasto.
