About this work

This painting shows a face with big, bright pink lips and a wide smile. The hair is drawn in swirling green lines, almost like a halo. The skin is a mix of gold and shadow, with dark eyes that stand out. The style looks loose and expressive, like it was drawn quickly. The colors pop against the dark background, making the face stand out. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
