About this work

This painting shows a face with sharp angles and simple shapes. The person has straight hair, big eyes, and a small smile. They’re wearing a striped shirt with a cross necklace, and their hands rest in their lap. The colors are flat and pale, with a light blue background. The lines are sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. The artist used a mix of watercolor and oil, giving it a soft but slightly rough look. If you like this style, check out Paul Klee.
