Gipsy

A woman in a blue headscarf and loose white smock with dark elasticated cuffs stands beside a thick tree trunk, a sunlit lawn stretching behind her. She holds a thin brush or pencil in one hand near a grey board propped at the left edge of the canvas, suggesting she has paused while working outdoors.

Bright greens of the grass and tree canopy contrast with the white of her clothing and the cool blue of her headscarf, applied in broad, loose strokes typical of plein-air painting. The face is rendered with quick, direct dabs, giving her a steady, unposed expression under dappled outdoor light.
