About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting sideways, her back to us. She has her hair pulled back and wears a loose white blouse with embroidered details along the sleeves. The background is plain, letting her figure stand out. The artist used soft, light strokes—no heavy outlines, just gentle shading. It feels quick, like a sketch that captures her pose and clothes well. Next, check out Louie Burrell to see more of their work.
