unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Taiteilija Jelizaveta Zvantsevan muotokuva is an unspecified by Ilya Repin, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman sitting still in a dark dress. Her hands rest in her lap, and she wears a simple necklace. The background is a plain, warm red wall with a hint of a chair on the right side. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the red wall, giving it a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Next, check out *impasto* to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
Ilya Yefimovich Repin (5 August 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Ukrainian-born Russian painter.
