About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a face and upper body. The colors are mostly yellow, white, and dark blue. The face looks like it’s made of simple shapes—big eyes, a strong jaw, and a wide mouth. The background is plain, with just a few brushstrokes showing texture. The face is drawn in a way that feels a bit rough, almost like a sketch. The artist used bold lines to define the features, making it stand out against the soft yellow background. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like this.
