Greek Woman is a 1845 oil by Jakab Marastoni, a Realism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman with dark hair and a red headband, adorned with gold tassels. She wears a yellow top and a colorful shawl draped over her arms. The background is a muted gray-brown color. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a specific cultural influence, possibly Greek, as hinted by the title "Greek Woman." The artist's use of color and texture adds depth to the portrait. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of the work of other artists from the same period.
