About this work

This painting shows a person wearing a bright pink cap and matching jacket over a light shirt with blue patterns. The background is a soft green-blue, and the face has a calm, serious look. Brushstrokes are loose, especially on the cap and jacket. The title *Cap de turc* hints at the hat—it’s a type of red cap often linked to Ottoman or Balkan culture. The painting feels more like a quick sketch than a polished portrait. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
