About this work

This painting shows a person sitting indoors, wearing a black dress and a dark cap. Their face is calm, with soft eyes and a faint smile. Behind them, a table holds a cloth, a black pot, and two apples—one red, one green. The room has simple furniture and a striped wall in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the person’s clothing and the table. This gives the painting a lively, almost three-dimensional feel. If you like this style, look up impasto.
