Portret de femeie

About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a woman with dark hair pulled back under a dark hat. She’s wearing a high-necked black dress with a lace collar, and her expression is serious. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on her face. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, which makes the painting feel quick and real. It’s not polished like some portraits—more like a snapshot of a moment. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style changed portrait painting.
