About this work

This painting presents a side profile of a woman, showcasing her distinctive bobbed haircut with bangs. Her gaze is directed to the right, and her lips are painted a deep shade of red. The image is rendered in black and white, with the subject's face and hair being the primary focus. A notable aspect of this portrait is the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. This is evident in the way the subject's features are highlighted against the darker background. To explore more works that utilize chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
