About this work
A dark-haired woman in a pale, off-the-shoulder dress leans over a dressing table, one hand raised with fingers touching her lips, the other resting near a small mirror. Jars, bottles and tubes of makeup are scattered across the tabletop, rendered as thick daubs of color, while the background sinks into deep, undefined brown shadow.
Warm flesh tones and the pale dress stand out against the near-black background, lit as if by a single soft source close to the sitter. Paint is applied thickly, especially in the impasto clusters of jars and the loaded strokes of the dress, giving the surface a tactile, worked quality. The mood is intimate and theatrical, caught in a private moment of self-scrutiny.
