About this work

This painting shows a person’s back from the shoulders down, standing sideways. The skin is painted in smooth, light tones with a soft glow. Behind them, the wall is a mix of red and faded green, with a rough texture that looks almost worn. The person is wearing a loose, white head covering that sits low on the forehead. Their arms hang relaxed at their sides, and the light catches the curve of their back and hips. This style uses thick paint in some areas to create texture—try looking up impasto.
