About this work

This painting shows a woman sitting on a wooden chair. She’s wearing a dark, puffy hat and a thick, dark coat with a sheer veil. Behind her, a small landscape painting hangs on the wall, and the room has plain, light-colored walls. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on her coat and hat, giving the painting a textured look. The lighting focuses on her face, making it stand out against the darker background. This technique is called *impasto*.
