About this work
A woman's face fills the frame, wrapped in a striped, cross-hatched headscarf that falls loosely over one shoulder. She presses one hand to her cheek and holds a red apple close to her lips with the other, her wide blue eyes staring directly at the viewer. Large stylized autumn leaves in orange, yellow and maroon fill the background.
Fine black linework overlays the skin and fabric like woven thread, breaking the face into graphic, patterned facets while still preserving a naturalistic likeness. Cool greys and blues in the scarf contrast with the warm orange and rust tones behind, and the flat, decorative treatment combined with the intense gaze gives the portrait a pensive, watchful mood.
