About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting at a table, wearing a white headscarf and dark dress. In front of her are baskets of fruit, a plate with sliced oranges, and a pot—likely for cooking. Behind her, a window lets in soft light, and a shelf holds two small vases with flowers. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, like the artist was sketching fast. The colors feel warm and natural, with earthy reds and yellows from the fruit and table. Next, check out Louie Burrell to see more of her everyday scenes.
