About this work

This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders in profile, holding a bright red flower. Her hair is pulled back under a light-colored hat, and she wears a red dress with white trim. The background is dark, making her features stand out. The brushstrokes are loose and soft, giving the painting a gentle, unfinished look. The red flower contrasts sharply with the dark background, drawing your eye. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
