About this work

This painting shows a young girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She’s wearing a red shawl over a white dress with blue stripes. The background is messy—blurry shapes in red, yellow, and green, like a half-painted wall. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the artist slapped the paint on. The girl’s face is simple but stands out against the chaotic colors. If you like this style, check out impasto.
