About this work

This painting shows a girl with dark hair and a calm face. She’s wearing a white collar and a patterned dress with red and blue spots. Her hands rest in her lap, and the background is messy with lots of brushstrokes and colors. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—it looks thick and rough in places, like they slapped it on. The face is clear, but the clothes and background are blurred. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
