About this work

This painting shows a woman lying down with her head resting on one arm. She’s wearing a loose, pale yellow dress that barely covers her shoulders. Her skin is smooth but painted in broad strokes, and her face has a calm, slightly closed expression. The background is a flat, muted green that makes her skin look warmer. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the painting a textured feel. This style is called *impasto*—try looking up how artists use thick paint layers to add depth.
