About this work
A close-up portrait shows a woman with a mass of dark, wind-tossed hair, head tilted back, eyes turned upward past the viewer. Both hands are clenched into fists pressed beneath her chin against a loosely painted beige garment, a tense, coiled pose that fills nearly the whole canvas.
Broad, gestural strokes of umber, violet-grey and warm flesh tones model face and hands against a pale, almost bare ground, with raw canvas showing through the hair. Strong light rakes across cheek and knuckles, carving form from shadow, and the slashing, unfinished brushwork gives the image an urgent, charged intensity.
