About this work

A woman sits on a red armchair, wearing a bright yellow hat and a loose blue dress with red dots. Her legs are crossed, and she holds something in her lap. Behind her, a window lets in soft light, and a small table with a yellow cloth sits nearby. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile style.
