This painting shows a woman sitting with her arms crossed. She’s wearing a red dress and a dark head covering. The background is a flat red, and her face and hands look roughly painted, almost like the brushstrokes are visible. The painting feels unfinished, with some areas—like her sleeve—showing raw texture. That’s called *impasto*, where thick paint is laid on so you can almost feel the strokes. If you like this style, look up impasto.
