This painting shows a woman in a light-colored dress with rolled sleeves, standing against a rocky, textured background. Behind her, a wavy blue-green sea stretches to the horizon. She holds a small bouquet of red flowers in one hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the dress and the rocky cliff, giving it a textured look. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Check out more about the technique: impasto next.
