This is a black-and-white portrait of a person with short, straight hair and a serious expression. The paint is thick in some spots, especially around the hair and eyebrows, giving it a rough, textured look. The background is plain white, so the face stands out clearly. The artist used bold lines and dark shadows to shape the face, almost like a sketch that was then filled in with paint. The style feels simple but deliberate, with no extra details to distract from the subject. Check out Rosemarie Trockel to see how she uses paint in other works.
