About this work

This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders turned slightly away. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a light-colored dress with a high collar. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on her skin and clothing, giving it a textured look. The artist used bold colors—warm tones on her face and cooler greens in the background—to create contrast. The way light and shadow mix on her cheek and neck stands out. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
