About this work

This painting shows a nude woman standing indoors. Her skin is painted in soft, blended colors—pink, green, and yellow—while the background has bold patches of red, blue, and green. A table with a yellow bowl sits behind her, and the walls and floor are simple, flat shapes with little detail. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on her body and the red drapery behind her. This technique makes the paint look almost textured, like you could feel the strokes.
