About this work

This painting shows a woman lying back in a chair with her head tilted slightly. She’s bare-chested and wrapped in a red cloth, resting one arm behind her head. Behind her, a plant with big green leaves sits on a windowsill, and patterned wallpaper peeks out in the background. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the skin and fabric a rough texture. The light hits her face and shoulders, making them stand out against the darker background. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
