About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in a green skirt and a red top. She’s bare-shouldered, leaning back with her eyes closed. Behind her, a window lets in light, and a lamp sits on a table to the left. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like the artist painted fast. The colors feel warm but not polished—more like a sketch than a finished portrait. Next, check out impasto, the technique of thick paint that leaves visible texture.
