About this work

This painting shows a young girl with a round face and big eyes. She’s wearing a white hat and a light dress with a brown collar. The background is blurry with green and yellow brushstrokes, like trees or bushes. The girl’s face is simple and direct—no fancy details, just bold shapes. The paint on her clothes looks thick, almost textured, especially around the collar. Try looking up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
