About this work

A woman in a dark hat and light jacket stands near a window, holding a blue shawl. She’s looking down, maybe fixing something in her hands. Behind her, a view of water and a distant shore is blurred and pale. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her clothes and the shawl, making the colors pop. The painting feels loose and quick, like it was done in one sitting. The light hits her face and hands, while the rest stays shadowy. It’s not polished—just raw and real. This style reminds you of impasto.
