About this work

This painting shows a woman’s back and shoulders from behind. She’s sitting with her knees bent, her skin painted in soft, warm tones. The background looks like a blurry outdoor scene with green and brown colors. The way the light hits her skin makes it look smooth and three-dimensional. The brushstrokes are visible, especially on her back, giving it texture. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
