This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders in soft pink and white tones. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears a simple dress. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, especially around her neck and arms. The artist used watercolor, which gives the painting a light, airy feel. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her expression. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
