About this work

This painting shows a side view of a person’s face and head. The skin is painted in soft yellows and browns, while the hair is a deep, dark black. The background is a muted, earthy color that blends into the shape of the head. The artist used smooth brushstrokes to create a gentle, almost glowing effect on the face. The lighting is subtle, focusing on the cheek and jawline. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
