About this work

This painting shows a woman in a red dress standing near a window. The light comes from the right, hitting her face and the wall behind her. It’s a small oil on canvas, only about ten inches tall. The artist painted it with loose, visible brushstrokes—no careful blending here. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum if you want to see more like it.
