About this work
A young woman with long, loose dark hair and a small gold ornament above her ear turns to face the viewer, her gaze direct and calm. She wears a loosely draped, patterned shawl in magenta, green, blue, and white gathered over her shoulders; a curved golden shape, possibly an instrument's edge, shows at the lower left.
The face is modeled smoothly in warm flesh tones with soft highlights on cheeks and lips, while the shawl and background are built up in thick, gestural strokes of contrasting color. The ochre and mauve ground is scumbled loosely around the figure, keeping focus on the vivid patchwork of clothing and giving the portrait an intimate, unposed quality.
