About this work

This painting shows a barefoot woman sitting on a chair, leaning forward with her arms resting on her knees. She’s naked, with smooth skin and a relaxed pose, looking down. Behind her is a wall with a dark frame and a window, and a large vase sits on the floor beside her. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes to give the skin and fabric a rough, almost sculpted look. The colors are muted, with earthy tones and a soft glow on her body. Next, look up impasto to see how this technique works.
