This painting shows a woman with dark hair and a serious expression. She’s wearing a dark coat over a red shawl, with a light-colored scarf peeking out. The background is a soft greenish blur, keeping the focus on her face. The artist used broad brushstrokes to show light and shadow, especially on her face and coat. The colors are simple but warm, with the red shawl standing out against the darker tones. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more portraits like this one.
