About this work

This painting shows a young girl with light hair styled in soft curls. She’s wearing a pale green dress and has a round face with simple, bold features—big eyes, a small nose, and a straight mouth. The background is messy, with thick, uneven brushstrokes in browns, blues, and reds that look almost like a blur. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the colors pop and feel almost textured. The girl’s face stands out sharply against the rougher background, like she’s the only clear thing in a busy world. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
