This painting shows a woman with a serious expression. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark, textured shawl draped over her shoulders. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her face. The brushstrokes on her shawl look thick and uneven, almost like the fabric itself. This gives the painting a rough, lived-in feel. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
