About this work

A woman sits in a chair, barefoot, with her legs crossed. She’s wearing a loose, light-colored dress that leaves her shoulders and arms exposed. In front of her is a small table with a dark vase holding tall, dry stalks, a yellowish fruit, and a small yellowish pitcher. The room looks plain, with simple wooden furniture and a rough floor. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The lighting is soft, focusing on her face and hands while the background stays dark. This painting uses a technique called *impasto*.
