About this work

This painting shows a person sitting in a wooden chair, wrapped in a light-colored cloth with small orange-brown dots. Their head is covered with a loose hood, and their hands rest in their lap. The background is blurry, with hints of green and blue, like a garden or outdoor space. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a textured, almost sketchy feel. The colors are soft but stand out in certain spots, like the dots on the cloth. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
