About this work

This painting shows a person lying down in a grassy area. They’re wearing a light pinkish dress that’s loose and flowing. The background has thick, brushy strokes of green and orange, like trees or bushes, with some white and brown patches too. The brushwork is rough, almost like the paint was slapped on in big chunks. It gives the scene a lively, unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up impasto.
