About this work
Shown close-up in near profile, a young woman with a blue kerchief or hood drawn over her hair turns her gaze to the side, one bare shoulder emerging from a patchwork blue-and-white garment. Behind her, loosely defined green foliage and a scatter of small pink and yellow marks suggest an open-air setting.
Cool blues and teals dominate the palette, thickly applied with a palette knife around the head, while the face itself is painted more thinly in warm ochre and rose tones. The heavy, textured strokes and averted gaze give the portrait a withdrawn, enigmatic quality, softened by touches of green and yellow in the background.
