About this work

The painting is a portrait of a woman with short gray hair, wearing a dark green top over a white collar. She holds a paintbrush in her right hand. The background is a light beige color. The woman's expression is serious, and her eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The brush in her hand suggests that she is an artist, and the painting may be a self-portrait. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the term "glazing".
