About this work

This painting shows a woman dressed in a long, patterned robe with red, white, and gold designs. She wears a blue headscarf and a matching sash, along with yellow shoes and striped socks. Her right hand holds a small object, and her left hand rests on her hip. The artist focused on everyday clothing, not fancy costumes. The colors are bright but simple, with clear outlines and flat areas of color. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
