About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a woman with short, dark hair. She’s wearing a dark hat pulled low over her forehead, and her face is turned slightly toward us. The paint is thick in places, especially around her hat and cheeks, giving it a textured look. Her lips are painted red, and her skin is a mix of yellows and pale oranges. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, but her eyes stand out—dark and steady. The background is a flat, teal-green color, which makes her face pop. If you like this style, look up impasto.
