About this work

This painting shows a woman holding a single pink rose. She’s sitting near a small fountain with water rippling around it. The background is soft greens and light, like a garden with trees and a building in the distance. The artist used loose brushstrokes to blend colors, making everything look dreamy. The rose stands out against the softer tones around it. Next, check out how this work uses lithography.
