About this work

The painting, titled Zambèze, depicts a woman dressed in a yellow outfit, posing with one hand on her hip and the other near her face. The woman's attire consists of a long-sleeved top and a skirt that falls just below her knees. Her hair is styled in a short, red bob. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's yellow outfit. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, as if the woman is posing for a fashion photograph.
