Untitled (Portrait of a Woman in Blue Sari and Veil) is a 1950 by Unknown, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman wearing a light blue sari with a matching veil draped over her head. She has a simple silver necklace and earring, and a red dot on her forehead. The background is a plain, warm brown color. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving the painting a soft, unfinished look. The woman’s face is the main focus, with shadows under her eyes and along her jaw. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
