About this work

This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders, but it’s not realistic. The colors are flat and bold—lots of reds, yellows, and browns—with sharp, uneven lines. Behind her, there’s a rough, angular room with a ladder and a window, but it’s hard to tell what’s real. The face looks almost like a mask, with strong shadows and simple shapes. The brushstrokes are thick, making the colors stand out. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
