This painting shows a person sitting indoors, wrapped in a long, light-colored cloth. Their face is mostly hidden by a dark veil, and the background is a simple room with a window and a dark roof. The colors are flat and muted, with no deep shadows or bright highlights. The artist used big, simple shapes to build the figure, almost like blocks. The cloth and veil look thick and textured, as if painted with heavy brushstrokes. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
