About this work

This painting shows a woman wearing a white blouse with a fancy necklace and earrings. She has dark hair pulled back and a flower tucked behind her ear. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on her clothes and hands, making the colors look uneven. The necklace is packed with different shapes—round beads, coins, and even what looks like small mirrors. The background is dark and blurry, so the focus stays on her face and jewelry. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
