About this work

This painting shows a person resting their head on their hand, looking down. They’re wearing a white headscarf with small dark dots and a matching polka-dot dress. The background is a warm orange, and the face has soft, blended shadows. The headscarf’s bow is tied loosely, adding a casual touch. The artist’s signature is in the top-right corner. Look up Tonitza, Nicolae to see more of his work.
