About this work

This painting shows a woman wearing a dark hat with a white band. Her face is plain but calm, with soft skin tones and a neutral expression. The background is a flat green, and her blue dress is simple, with a hint of another color on the edge. The artist used bold colors and thick brushstrokes, especially on the hat and background. The face is smooth, almost like it’s lit from one side. If you like this style, look up impasto.
