About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting still in a dim room. She’s wearing a simple black dress with a high collar, and her hands rest in her lap. Behind her, a yellow curtain hangs to one side, while the wall and chair are painted in dark, muted tones. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on her sleeves and the chair. This makes the colors feel rough and real, like you could almost touch them. If you like this style, look up impasto.
