About this work

This painting shows a person wearing a white cap with a black pom-pom and a dark collar. Their face is pale, with hollow cheeks and a neutral expression. The fabric around them looks rough, with a dark hole in the center of the chest area. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a textured look. The background is a warm, rusty color that contrasts with the cool tones of the figure. This style reminds you of a technique called *impasto*.
