About this work

This painting shows a woman with a hood pulled over her head. Her face is pale, with dark circles under her eyes and a serious expression. Behind her, a snowy landscape stretches out, with a small lighthouse glowing in the distance. The artist used thick, rough brushstrokes, especially on her face and hood, making it look almost textured. The background is simpler, with flat colors for the snow and sky. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
