About this work

This painting shows a woman in a bright, bold pose. She’s wearing a red skirt with blue trim and a yellow top, with gold armbands and a matching headpiece. One hand holds a red object, and the other rests on her hip. Her face is simple but expressive, with dark outlines and flat colors. The painting looks like it was made quickly, with loose brushstrokes and no deep shadows. The colors pop against the plain background, making her stand out.
