This painting shows a woman sitting in what looks like a dimly lit room. She’s wearing a dark dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders. Her face is turned slightly away, and the background is blurry, with hints of furniture and a window. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. If you like this style, check out more about *impasto*.
