This painting shows a woman’s face and shoulders, turned slightly to the side. She wears a dark necklace with round beads and a light-colored shawl over her shoulders. The background is rough and blocky, with sharp angles and muted colors—mostly blues and grays. The painting’s face is smooth and detailed, while the rest of the scene looks almost carved or textured. The contrast between the soft face and the jagged background is striking. If you like this style, look up impasto.
