This is a close-up portrait of a woman with dark, wavy hair pulled back. Her face is simple but slightly off—eyes are big, lips are thin, and the skin looks flat with soft shadows. She’s wearing a dark blue top with a high collar, drawn in quick, bold lines. The artist used loose, sketchy marks instead of smooth shading. The background is just a pale, plain area that makes her face stand out. Want to see more? Check out The Museum of Modern Art.
