About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a patterned cloth. She’s bare-chested, wearing a bright red hat with feathers, and holding a small object in her hand. The background is dark, and the brushstrokes are thick, making her skin and the cloth look textured. The red hat stands out against the muted colors, drawing your eye. The painting feels loose and sketchy, like it was done quickly. If you like this style, look up impasto.
