About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long, striped dress holding a cross with a small, simple figure of Jesus nailed to it. Behind her, a smaller woman in bright blue and red stands near a wreath of flowers and leaves. The colors are bold—reds, blues, and browns—with flat shapes and clean lines. The woman’s face is calm, almost serious, while the background has a busy mix of flowers and patterns. The cross-hatching on the clothes adds texture to the flat colors. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with just lines.
