Istuva nainen (Taiteilijan sisar Ina Rosenberg)

About this work

This painting shows a person sitting, wrapped in a dark coat with a light scarf. Their hat is a warm yellow, and the background is a mix of dark and light brushstrokes. The colors are mostly muted, but there’s a splash of pink on the right side. The face looks calm, but the painting itself feels rough—like the brushstrokes were applied quickly. The artist didn’t smooth things out, leaving some areas thick with paint. Next, check out impasto, the technique of laying paint thickly on a canvas.
