About this work

This painting shows a woman’s upper body against a plain background. She has dark hair pulled back, wearing a white dress with a red sash tied at the waist. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on the red fabric, making it look almost textured. The artist used bold colors and quick strokes, which gives the painting a lively feel. The face is more detailed, but the rest stays simple. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
